Join the US Army? It could be the worst decision of your life - what's left of it. See why. Get the worst of it over first:-
WAR WOUNDS: Photos of wounded Americans from battlefield hospitals in Iraq - broken link
Sick bag at the ready before you look at these. Gun shot wounds can spoil your day. Land mines are worse.
Try these instead - Click here to view the accompanying photo gallery on Salon.com. But first a few words of warning: these pictures are extremely graphic and disturbing.
Gung ho
warriors who never wore a uniform far less heard a shot fired in anger will
put you in harm's way.
There are Democrats who did serve, lots of Republicans did not.
Get wounded in action and pay for your rations in hospital.
What it is really like in the army. Things that recruiting sergeants don't mention.
Get wounded and hope that you get decent medical treatment.
You just might get lucky. Gunshot wounds can spoil your day. Men have been invited to pray for Bush. The
British Army wouldn't try
that one.
For a view from someone who knows go to Fred's Page. He did his service with the USMC. Look at his articles. Then you will know something about the realities.
Uncle Sam Wants You Don't Enlist - do you want him?
Wars And Their Other Price Wars Aftermath - read and know why not
A Grand Adventure Going To War - did politicians like Blair even think about it?
The Kinder Gentler Military - recommended by Fred and Amazon reviewers.
Ask yourself why George Bush didn't serve or didn't send his daughters. for that matter.

Here is something more pleasant.
