Marines and Airforce...just hope the one going out there now comes back with a good head on his shoulders yet.
With a child on the way, he doesnt need to be a drunk like my other one.

Dont get me wrong though, my one cousin who came back from the marines was awesome and still is...its just he drinks a little too much...

Mercenary company soldiers may make more money than national soldiers, but they generally get the more dangerous jobs.  They also often get less respect than a nation's own soldiers (as already shown in this topic).  I hear they're good places to go after burritos the army if you want to use all the training that you got to make a living.  Because there isn't much else that uses that kind of training.

While not something that I would try to do, I consider mercenary to be an honorable job.

XD @ Topic.

Cain, you're a kid. You're young, and no offense, but your goals seem silly. You want to be on the top five list of the most kills? What!? You should be focusing on school, education, relationships and a career.  You're a teen and you already decided to join the military. The Military is nothing more then an organized lie, to bend a thousand guys like yourself to do the Governments will, which is always notioned after the official gets the highest buck. The Iraq war is nothing more then a (Poorly) explained excuse to get back at some gentlemen that Bush's dad had a grudge against, and an excuse to get land and money and resources. Terrorists do exist, and they are to be feared and hated, but this war was not about "Freedom" or "Liberation."

Mercenaries? Harder job to get then the Navy seals, and you have more of a chance to surviving a fourty thousand foot drop then actually getting phone calls like the Transporter to go knock off Joe Studds. You can't buy a Mercenaries 101 book or join a Mercenaries school. They're the equivical to Medieval assassins, but even harder to get to. And for your sanity, you'd have more fun punching babies then doing that. Getting PAID to kill for all you know an innocent man (Or woman.)? I'd rather die, thanks.

Mercs=soldiers for hire...

And I don't know one person that focuse's on school. If they do, then that is what we call nerds. Nerds, yea usually make it and have a good life. But are still nerds. And wethepeople aren't you 14 too? I thought you told me you were like 13 or something.

How to immunitize yourself from draft: Get a scholarship! Even a 10$ grant from McDonalds will do.

It's in the Bill of Rights that people with scholarships cannot be drafted   . Or atleast something like that.

You know it's a proven scientific fact that idiots will soon take over the world... It's quite simple really: Idiots reproduce more. So every nerd that you see (including me) for we are a dying kind!

You can't blame Bush for the Iraq war! You're kind of forgetting something... You know... With the planes... And those two towers in lower Manhattan... and the effects still felt today... And the widely believed government conspiracy theories... You know...

If you think about it sure Bush had beef with Iraq, but that was not the only thing. Sure we needed oil, but if we truly wanted oil, would we be trying to make Iraq work on its own? Why do you think we don't turn Iraq into a protectorate like Cuba or something? Plus nobody in the government (outside of government agencies... But does it really matter? They don't make any important decisions anyways) has enough foresight to make a long-winded plan to get America more oil AND evade all the red tape in the process...

In my opinion, Mercs aren't that bad... It's just a way to make a living... But then again some people [politicians] make a living by arguing about healthcare (among other matters)... I'd say it's just a necessary evil.

You are now a farking moron in my eyes. Congrats. Any ounce of respect I might have had for you has just dropped to nothing.

Just because someone focuses on school does not make them nerds. It just means they don't want to fail, repeat the grade, and end up getting some shitty ass job with a salary of $4 a year. Oh, and since your an idiot, I better tell you that $4 a year is a CockPonytization. Go to http://dictionary.com to find out what it means.

So tell me Cain, what do you call those guys who get any damned girl in the world and focus on their studies? I wouldn't call them a nerd. Hell what do you call a jock who focuses on his studies? He's simply trying to stay on the team, not a nerd.

What do you call girls like these who HIGHLY focus on their studies:

You just lost all of my respect.  All of it.

This topic is full of stupidity all around.  And I mean even for an RI topic.

...XD Respect level=WAY downt. I may be 14, but I'm not stupid. Wanting to freaking kill people for money is idiotic, and stuff. Your goals are to kill more people then anyone else, something I would rather die then do. All you want to do is kill, and you're calling me a nerd? Wow. Landing a job, and a girlfriend, and a nice career is LIFE, not a nerd. A nerd is the person who is brainwashed my all progaganda and who focuses his entire teenage life on stewing over wanting to go into the military. And I know what blasted mercenaries are, they're essentially fake. YOU CAN'T BE ONE. You can't just walk up to some guy in a hoody, and land a 50K hit. You can't, you never will. First, to get into military, you need a good education (Gasp!), then you need to survive boot camp, and then you most likely won't see action for a year or two. Ever watch a real army film or footage? Not Blackhawk down or Pearl harbor? Yeah. They sit around, talk, and wait for the enemy. 20% of it is actually fighting, the rest is going nuts from loneliness. And after that, you need to get into Special forces (Such high requirements, I have no idea what you need to do. All I know is a college degree is one of them.), which is hell in and of itself. THEN you need to survive, and then you retire and become one of the thousands of ignored VETS. There's no rewards, happiness, there's no mercenaries or hit jobs or renounded solid snake fame. You go home, remember the hard, forget the good, miss your friends, and want to die.

Yeah. Sign me up. And I'm the nerd.

[SirCain]

Yes you are . My uncle was in Spec: Ops. What they told him to do: they bound his hands, covered his eyes, and landed him in the middle of some jungle. Then gave him a knife, and told him to wait 2 weeks. He did it, but declined the offer, cause he would have had to move to a different country. I know they get lonely, hell im already lonely. I don't really expect to see as much action as I want. I might not even see any (god forbid), and might not make it into spec:ops. But I will try my hardest to get into it.

You can't just walk up to some guy in a hoody, and land a 50K hit.

I don't understand what that means. Explain please?

[Mr_Cynic]

It means there aren't quite as many (legal) job openings as to easily make a living as a mercenary unless you join a professional security company.  Plus, by the way, you're in the RIA!  You were going crazy for the chance to enter a war on an online game!  You actually play CN!  Does that not strike you as at least a little nerdy?

[SirCain]

Like Brink? My uncle is in that. He transports Money transfers. They made a law I forgot when but not long ago, that allowed them to carry heavy weaponry like: smg's, and assualt rifles, cause a guy got killed in a attack.

[Mr_Cynic]

Exactly right there: "because a guy got killed in an attack."  You have a damn good chance of dying.  Plus, where is this "money transfer" ****?  Because otherwise, this Brink fellow is what most people like to call a security guard.  Just with bigger guns.

[cheeseaholic]

I believe that most active mercenary companies are running security in Iraq right now.  Either for private companies or for the US military in places where it doesn't want to send US soldiers because of high casulties.

In fact, most active US soldiers are security guards with bigger guns at the moment.

[SirCain]

I think it was a money transfer from Indianiapolis, to Evansville.

Your goals: To go into an army, and shoot people. Sounds like an amazing life to me. My goals: To become a Pastor, gett a degree in philosphy and Bible school, and help as many people as I can, possibly becoming a psyche. Just to help as many people as I can. I need an education, and a life for that. I'm such a nerd! Woe is me, I want to help people, and I want to not be the dumb idiot who has to shoot someone. I'm so pathetic. Listen, you're being swayed by most likely some younger-then-you people at school. Its always the cool thing, "Lets mock out the studying kid." That studying kid has a meaning to his life, and found it. You wan to shoot people, and for no good reason. How /dare/ you mock anyone out that wants to have a life for themselves, when your final goals are to shoot people for money. And I really don't care what your uncle was in. All forms of military are exuses for either resources, or to strut the US's military legs. I couldn't care less about any of that, because I know military hasn't had any good reason since WWII.  The fact that you can even tell yourself that you want to load a gun, pull the trigger, and take someone's soul is beyond horrible to me. And you want to do it more then anyone? Wow.

What I mean't by that was you're never going to get a hit job. Ever. People just don't call you and ask to shoot some one. Its rare, its reality, and it hardly happens. You aren't going to be Snake Plissken, you aren't going to be some badass ex-marine with aveangence. Never going to happen. Snap into reality.

[cheeseaholic]

No, you're mocking mercenaries.  Many soldiers willing to fight for their country want to make a decent amount of cash while doing so.  Since the pay for being a soldier and risking your life for your country, they join a mercenary company after spending some years in the army.  Mr_Cynic is acting like crazy during elections, SirCain is being rude, and his choice of a future profession makes me think that he dresses in all black in real life, and I let myself respond a couple of times in this topic, which is a hole of stupidity.
