• Wow i assure you they are taken care of at bootcamp, esp if they are injured, what exactly are you so upset about. what is making you think ppl in prison are getting treated better? and btw the mail at boot camp takes FOREVER to get threw to them, and yes they WILL with hold it from you to be mean, or whatever, but they eventually give it to you. and if this is all over some mail then seriously. my husband said every time he got a letter from me they made him do push ups, its just what happens in basic.

  My son is limbo right now at a bootcamp where he was severely injured during training so YES it is a fracking waste!!!!!!! Still don't know what the frack is gonna happen to his life and he's been there for fracking months! Rapists and murderers in a federal prison have it better than he does right now! MFer's can't even get his fracking mail to him!

  I'm sorry to hear that. There is no way to compensate someone for their life either. No money will change how you live the rest of your life if you are injured. A friend of my fiancee got into some trouble a while back and he had the choice jail or the army. Well him thinking the army would be a better choice chose that. Well he was deployed to Iraq and was killed last year. If he would have chose jail he would be home now with his daughter.

• then go look at the other post, there are over 300 posts, you should find the answers you are looking for in there. but to start a totally new thread about basically the same thing is to me a little uncalled for. esp for how heated the other post is. and of course now you are getting heated responses in here too.

• I was in the Navy for five years, and I really grew up while serving.  I'm thankful I joined. 

  So NO it isn't a waste of life.  It is a great route to take.

• Absolutely not. The skills, knowledge and training that my husband got in the military made him possible to get a job shortly after coming home. Which was great because we just found out we were pregnant. He has been at the same job since.

• I love my life as an army wife. My husband is one that was literally born for this job. It isn't a waste of a life if its what you want and enjoy. It can be a waste if you join and hate it. It's all a perception of how you the person feel. My daughter would make a terrible soldier. My son on the other hand.... he can't wait. It has been his dream his whole life.

  With my kids - it would be a waste for my daughter to be a soldier because her dream is to be a veterinarian. That is her dream. With my son - it would be a waste for him to be a vet. He would be miserable. Put him in the army and all his dreams are realized.

  Not everyone can live this life. Not everyone can go to war. At the same time not everyone can be happy doing home-front jobs. It's all about what dreams and desire the person has.
