Has anyone here tried out the military?

submitted by ifuckredditsnitches_Resident Pajeet from self.debatealtright

The more I look into it the more it seems like a fairly good trade-off if you're very smart about it (most aren't), especially for those that get into SF

In exchange for being very physically fit and having the mental strength to get through training, Uncle Sam will spend millions of dollars on your training without which you'd be reliant on old manuals and expensive classes. Along with that you'll get healthcare, free college (of which elite institutions will be more likely to admit you), and a pathway to infiltrating through government jobs or politics. Or you could take the training and raise up your own army if you have the capital.

Knowing the System inside and out and exploiting it is the key to rotting it out.

The problem is going out and killing people more in line with you behalf of ZOG, PTSD, getting maimed etc.

If someone is destined to die they're destined to die, you're just the instrument through which fate acts. So I no longer really have a conscience about that. Not to mention a lot of the deployments people are going through these days are in Africa and South America and I don't think this sub really cares for the targets in either case.

PTSD, getting maimed etc

Seems like many soldiers do truly break their bodies through training and deployments, that is something to keep in mind. I would wonder if taking gear and peptides under the table might mitigate it though.

PTSD in the current military doesn't seem like nearly as much of an issue as depression from not deploying.

I mean if youre flying in a helo in foggy conditions in unfamiliar terrain, or clearing a house that may or may not have explosive boobytraps and suicidal jihadis, lets just say youre tempting fate pretty hard.

You are going to age yourself considerably while other people your age are back at home playing xbox, attending the occasional college class, working out at the gym and fucking your girl, and when you are broken physically and mentally, no one will give the slighest fuck, least of all the Jews that sent you. You could win the medal of honor and say one no no word and you're cancelled. I remember reading about some of the people beaten unconscious by BLM/antifa mobs who were vets.

ADL/SPLC Jews have even been lobbying to deprive honorably discharged veterans of VA benefits for being "white supremacists", and have been pushing to give harsher sentences to people who are veterans if they commit political "crimes". I know they were talking about harsher sentences for some of the maga types that trespassed during the capital "insurrection" if they were vets, I'm not sure if that materialized, but a lot of Jewish ethnic activist types clearly see vets who engage in wrongthink as public enemy number one.

Die in battle and you go to heaven, not afraid of it honestly

Definitely the toughest part and honestly the only thing driving me towards this is wanting to escape being a fucking coom soy coder drone. Parents paid for college already and can't afford a career change postgrad degree. I think as long as I wasn't dumb enough to get married or in a ltr while deployed I'd come out better than working at jewgle.

Honestly if you were dumb enough to fall for that you almost deserve it. But they didn't really do anything wrong ofc

This is the same shit that kike that was stealing the Palestinian's houses was saying. "If I don't steal your house, another jew will so it might as well be me." I happen to believe in honour, and fighting on behalf of jews will diminish mine.

Not to mention a lot of the deployments people are going through these days are in Africa and South America and I don't think this sub really cares for the targets in either case.

Not really though. Advocating for our race doesn't mean we're ok with murdering people of other races just because they're in the way of the interests of jews. There are ghoulish racist libtards who think this way but nationalists don't.

Seems like many soldiers do truly break their bodies through training and deployments, that is something to keep in mind. I would wonder if taking gear and peptides under the table might mitigate it though.

I think they're prolly standard issue, especially in SF. I don't think it'll make much difference, especially since most injuries are the result of IEDs and shit like that where being a bit bulkier isn't really going to make a difference.

PTSD in the current military doesn't seem like nearly as much of an issue as depression from not deploying.

Really? I've heard of a bunch of people killing themselves because of the shit they've had to do or witness. None because they were bored of being stuck doing busywork.

Not my intention there, it's more that there's no sin in killing someone where they are fighting and destined to die. You as an individual can't stop cosmic forces.

I happen to believe in honour, and fighting on behalf of jews will diminish mine.

Can understand that sentiment, thought that way for a long time myself. I think now I have a mindset more valuing transcendence through combat itself regardless of its causes and consequence.

I think they're prolly standard issue, especially in SF.

Might be for your SAS, in America DEVGRU allegedly has a doctor that takes care of them but everyone else gets it illicitly or through private doctors. I'm jealous of British PED laws honestly.

especially since most injuries are the result of IEDs and shit like that where being a bit bulkier isn't really going to make a difference

Don't think that's any longer the case. IEDs are only a risk for long-winded occupations which have winded down by now.

Really? I've heard of a bunch of people killing themselves because of the shit they've had to do or witness. None because they were bored of being stuck doing busywork.

That's old news more or less, these days no one besides specops really deploys, and even those are low intensity, so little chance for PTSD. Maybe some of it is from hazing/abuse, some from depression.

Murder is wrong in all circumstances and let any murder be anethema. That being said, there's a dofference between murdering brown people in their kwn lands and murdering them in White lands. Both are evil, but there is a difference worth mentioning

All you'll be left with is no salary, joint injuries, and weird side affects from all the shit they make you be injected with.

If you end up poor after military it's your own fault tbh, you have so many advantages to build your career. Would definitely take the free post grad and the admissions boost and use it if I went in. Joint injuries are def a huge issue from all the training you do. The vaccines will be affecting everyone unless you're NEET or a business owner, no avoiding it in the West really. Unless the SC case the SEALs put out actually works out.

[–][deleted] 6 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 0 fun7 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Or you could take the training and raise up your own army if you have the capital.

What's up with these fantasies about "based generals" rising their own armies?

I remember the similar thing with Biden's election, French racial tensions, etc.

Most soldiers here are just retards, in it either for money or, to quote one army guy, just to kill people. They're not idealistic revolutionary vanguard. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if they have IQ cap in regular ranks just like cops.

>army trains you to train insurgents

>leave army and do the same exact thing

Unlikely to make a difference in America tho unless you were very targeted about it and focused entirely on assassination and infrastructure. Americans worry too much about show of force and not enough about results.

[–]Blackbrownfreestuff 5 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 2 fun -  (13 children)

I was in the army as an enlisted soldier. They are doing gender and race based promotions for anything above E5. Of course whites can still be promoted, but black females are being fast tracked, so If your unit has any black females, they will get promoted ahead of you. If you don't mind incompetent blacks telling you what to do, then you'll love the army.

[–]ifuckredditsnitches_Resident Pajeet[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (12 children)

What's demographics of SF officers like I'm considering going 18xray. Don't really care about promotions since that's what exposes you to more koolaid anyway. Unless they try to put me in a JSOC unit.

[–]Blackbrownfreestuff 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (11 children)

If you are going special forces officer then you wont have to worry about incompetent minorities leading you. There are very few non-whites in the 18 series and even less officers. Any non-whites in special forces will be competent. You will have to worry about two other big possibilities.

  1. If you interact with a female or non-white soldier anywhere and they complain about you for any reason, you're career will be over. Make a comment some nigger or female soldier doesn't like and you're done. It could be anything. Literally everything you say as a white male is racist and sexist and the army has bent over backwards to punish whites who aren't woke.

  2. You might fail out of the q course and become 11b, in which case you run into the initial problem I described of race based promotions, except it will be nigger and Mexican males. The good thing is, combat arms MOS have the least amount of incompetent race based promotions. Its mostly the bullshit MOS where this is a problem, but you will still see some of it as 11b.

      People like that exist, but it's not the norm at all. Like having that complexion is relatively common, happens even in the south. The brown hair, pink lips is somewhat rarer but still within the norm in certain castes in northern India. I've never seen golden eyes among Indians, I've seen brown, green, blue, and grey. A blue eyed Indian woman with brown hair and as much makeup as this woman could probably pass. Med and slav passing is probably not uncommon.

      In the end it doesn't matter lmao.

      If I do enlist which isn't certain I'd go as SF enlisted ideally. Or maybe 75th. Not trying to make a career out of the army.

      Not white so historically I've gotten more lenience on those comments but I'll watch my mouth if I go in.

      If I fail could I drop a packet again within a year?

      If you fail out of the q course it's unlikely you make it back, not impossible, but it's gonna be a while, years. Keep in mind, the army is not like call of duty. If you don't make SF, this is your breakdown:

      50% of your time will be spent emptying trash cans and checking the oil on humvees

      30% will be spent standing around, hurry up and wait

      10% will be PowerPoints on how not to rape anyone and how everything is sexual harassment.

      5% will be physical fitness

      5% will be actual combat training if you are lucky.

      It can become miserable at times, but lots of camaraderie and sometimes fun and social. Better than some shit job.

      Stats say that if I pass SFAS I got a 70% chance of making the Q. Is it the same if I failed SFAS and lost the 18x contract?

      Great point, the corporate environment is a cesspool of woke re-education on a regular basis.

      No, failing the Q is worse. They will let you go back to selection at least one more time without too much hassle. Fail the Q and you're probably fucked until you reup.

      Seems like enlisted specops guys are less susceptible, but big army/navy and all officers are more so. I don't know anywhere outside of /k/ that soldiers ever admit dissident views though. At most you could make slightly racist rednecky humor irl ig.

      I wonder if their psychological tests would find me out or not. Have taken a couple for corporate interviews and I always max them out because I have a kike tier IQ spread with the verbal lmao. Makes me a very good liar.

      It's one thing to get in by lying but once in the organization, you'll be forced to continuously affirm your allegiance to the liberal religion. You'll be forced to walk in women's heels, celebrate juneteenth, pride month and all other homosexual rituals and negro worshipping events. You will also be expected to genuflect and suck up to blacks, women, and sexual perverts.

      It's easy to enter an organization through deceptive statements, but it's another thing entirely to survive there for years. Over time, it's highly likely that the propaganda and rituals will ultimately break you. Either you'll crack and reveal your power level and get yourself fired. Or you'll become a cuck and submit to the propaganda.

      Agreed, though this is mostly only a huge issue with the officers and leadership. If you stay your career (I would not stay in the army longer than 3-6 years depending on contract) as enlisted then you'd prob come out intact. Re-enlisting term after term I could totally see why someone would end up a total drone for the kikes honestly. You'd have to have the right mindset for it and avoid the leadership pipeline which is all politics and paperwork.

      It can't be that much worse than college or corporate though can it? At least in the military it's seen as bs.

      This is why I would never want to go the officer route lol, too many porcelain fuckers that drink the koolaid and play politics for the benefit of their career. My goal would simply be to learn skills useful in both warfare and training others in those skills.

      That's the NG, which I honestly would not want to join considering these days the governors just use them as slave labor. Only considering 75th and SF which are mostly used in the middle east, Africa, South America, etc. SEALs are apparently on standby in Eastern Europe right now but both sides of that conflict are basically liberal by the old standards anyway.

      If you live in America and know how to get a military career that gets you maximum benefit for minimal effort, feel free to go right ahead. I don't think there are any other advantages to joining the military today, though. Even the militaries have become woke. If you are looking for some sort of new experience, you almost surely will not find it.

      Especially now that the wars are over it'll be more and more difficult to see anything interesting. Honestly I think a peacetime military ruled by these porcelain woke faggot officers that never had combat experience is magnitudes more harmful than unnecessary war ever was.

      Both are to the benefit of these cliques. The main problem though is that the profession and the life experience of the soldier are both being degraded under the present circumstances. Even if you are approaching war purely individualistically, it's hard to imagine any spiritual benefits given the clown show-like environment of current-day militaries. I think the benefits for military service today can only be material - money, training, qualifications and physical development.

      The spiritual benefits would only be present in the hardships of selection/training and what little combat experience you still get these days tbh.

      These are still substantial, and I think the wokeness in the military is still somewhat better than my current course in coomputer soyence. God I hate this major too late to switch now though.

        I’m too much of a gay bookworm for the military though so I might go for another degree, maybe a masters in international relations since I’m into history and geopolitics. No idea where I’ll go from there but whatever I’m young and can afford to coast through life for now.

        If I was an only child I'd be doing this but I'm not about to make my parents pay for me and my brother at the same time lol. So might as well take the military route plus it's a backdoor for Ivies and the like.

          International Relations is a degree aimed at liberal elites. If you study International Relations at a prestigious university, you will be looking at a career in the UN, diplomacy, liberal NGOs etc. Consider if this is what you want to do.

            Well, if you are going to be doing International Relations, then make sure you look through the course content of any programme you apply for. I expect that there will be a lot of stuff about "human development", "global democracy" and neoliberal economics, which you may find just as intolerable as financial statements. Pick out your university and your programme carefully.

              I think if you spend time in those circles it can build credibility but even slight deviations get you kicked out. Look at what they did with Tulsi Gabbard, she was in the CFR for years and she stepped out of line for a couple years and got run out of DC. Maybe it'd be useful if you could p peace negotiations with a future insurgency? It's uncharted territory.

              I think knowing the Beast is probably something that'll be very important in the future.

              What school would do anything different even China and Russia pushes the same shit with what their diplomats say. Doubt there's a single IR school that's any less neoliberal than the shit FP mag and the like put out. Did MUN in high school it was hilarious the extent to which the strivers slobbered the neoliberal line to get awards, they were all from hyper rich private schools and such too (we were a lowly upper middle class public school). I suppose learning how the System works is highly important though, and having people knowledgeable on your side could be highly important in the future.

              That's true. I am not sure if you will find better International Relations courses overseas or not, but it's important to examine the worth of what is taught. I think it's good to have people who understand neoliberal globalism and its functioning in detail, but in my experience few people find that kind of thing interesting, fewer still if you exclude the proponents of "world democracy and human development". Studying this kind of material also encourages thinking along the same lines, and it is not too helpful with devising alternative models.

              You're CS! Do NOT go into the military with a CS degree. You can easily make 200k out of college, whereas the military pays like 70k. It's just not worth it. Student loan debt is tax deductable + the interest rates are lower than inflation. That debt doesn't matter when you're 6 figs in tech

              I'm debt free my parents paid for it. Don't really care about the money but I figure I'd make even more if I used the GI bill + military experience to get into a good B-school where the jobs are mildly less soulless and the people are a lot less soy.

              Don't want to be this guy

              My family members are in this field and it rots their brain

              The point is that the military is a rip off. You can make more working at a super chill bank. CS is way too valuable a degree to waste your life feeding ZOG

              It all feeds ZOG man, pick your poison. Most CS guys get paid 60k out of grad at normal companies, and most of that is eaten up by living expenses. 200K out of school is if you can pass their ridiculous technical interviews and I'll need a while to prep for that if I want to make FAANG. Not to mention would need to pay the Bay Area tax there and live in an urban sprawl hellhole with no fucking trees. The bay area is so fucking ugly it's bad enough I prefer Philly suburbs visually.

              That said I do agree the military has huge drawbacks as well, and I don't know that it's worth it unless you make an SOF unit. And even then that's only worth for practical skills, vet benefits, and getting into Ivies.

              What bank jobs are super chill? Not really familiar with banking career paths.

              I'm not saying work big tech man. Don't live in the Bay. You can work at TI in Dallas making software for calculators. You can work for Garmin in Nebraska. They easily make 80k in cheap cost of living areas and don't feed ZOG. You can work for TSLA in Austin, there's a good tech scene there. You can work for smaller banks in Dallas. They are desperate for techies and won't fire you unless you're a straight up 85 IQ autist.

              You can work cybersecurity for HP, Dell. You can work remote at COIN. You can work for Duolingo in Pittsburgh. There's a fuck ton of options outside of ZOG but you wanna join the faggot ass military for the goodies and wlb? C'mon dude get a grip. There's a ton of great options that don't feed ZOG. Don't be so defeatist

              I spent a summer in the Bay and I never went back. Way too degenerate. I completely understand the concern. However there are great tech scenes outside the bay with decent hard working people who don't feed ZOG

              The spiritual benefits would only be present in the hardships of selection/training and what little combat experience you still get these days tbh.

              Maybe. I just can't picture it. I feel like being a part of an army that does not take itself seriously would serve as a sort of mental block.

              These are still substantial, and I think the wokeness in the military is still somewhat better than my current course in coomputer soyence. God I hate this major too late to switch now though.

              You are right. If you want the money, go for it. I would not feel too bad about your choice if I were you, though. It doesn't matter what you do, you've got "diversity and inclusion" everywhere now - medicine, the classics, religious studies, you name it. Just build the skillset you need.

              It's not even the politics but just the sheer amount of soy coomsoomerism involved and how ugly everything is plus the sheer amount of time at a screen. Didn't think I'd mind it till I was in junior year and I started really hating my life lmao. It just isn't my flavor of autism at all and I hate the people.

              Yeah that's understandable. If you go into the military, you can get a degree equivalent during your service or you could go do another degree after you've left.

              That's basically the plan, go for a career change unless whatever investments I make while serving balloon enough to retire. Even then probably best to have something for health benefits after.

              I did a 2 year tour and came away with about $55,000 in education benefits. This was when $55,000 would get you a car, an off campus apartment, food, preppy clothing, get you completely through college, and a Rolex.

              Not bad. These days they pay in full for any public institution if you serve over 3 years I think. Private school limited to 25k per year but a lot of schools waive the difference. Apparently you get a housing and book stipend too. Not bad at all honestly I wish I enlisted before I went to college lmao. Can always get that postgrad ig.

              I considered this in college but I determined it's not worth my freedom to work anywhere I want for those 3 years. Ultimately I made much more in private industry and I had much more mobility.
