If its second or third world then maybe
You don’t fight wars in your own country usually now do ya?
I mean like
You're serving a first world country
Food shortages don't usually happen too often anymore
And? Doesn’t mean they have the money to spend on food to last on missions they have no idea how long will last
You could get stranded on the lines under fire
If your on a life raft or a desert and there is a freshly dead guy on board and you haven’t eaten in weeks, well shit happens.
They get supplies shipped in as needed
I wouldn’t even give it weeks.
Anything I have to do to survive myself.
Really? Anything?
Yep.
Except kill my own troops
Ah
No killing battalion mates.
That was what I was going to ask
They’re a family
They’re with you since BCT.
They are your brothers.
You think for the good of the group.
But to save the entire battalion sometimes others must be sacrificed.
If they’re injured and gonna die anyways yeah.
Otherwise, you don’t carry 75 pound packs on rucks for no reason.
During BCT atleast.
If I was able to survive id hope my mates save me.
Sometimes they can carry you out.
If it aint too bad
Yes, though sometimes the risk outweighs the chances.
Sometimes its worth it.
You joined knowing the risk of sacrificing your life for your country, hell even for your brethren.
If theres that chance you could save em, sometimes you gotta take it.
Exactly.
That is something I admire about the Japs pre WW2 is that once they enlisted if it got results they didn’t give one hoot about there life as long as they took as many of the enemy with them as they could.
Thats exactly how I will be when I join.
You are enlisting?
I know im joining at the risk of my life. If I die, I die.
I plan on it, yeah. After 4 years of military college.
Learning battle strategies, combat training etc.
Then bct then full on forces. I think I want to do it for life.
Nice. I think myself able to contribute to my country more in other ways so I will probably refrain from enlisting unless we are drawn into a significant war.
