content: The US military wasn't responsible for showing the wrong footage, though... that was the news agency. I'm currently a US Army Infantryman, did a 9-monther in Afghanistan and I'm less than 6 months away from finishing my contract. The military is one massive bureaucratic hell, but I don't regret serving. That being said, I will absolutely not reenlist, because I don't like being treated as an expendable slave child. The Post 9/11 GI bill at least, is fucking fantastic, and I'd say it was barely worth the bullshit to earn it. My advice for those who just want the benefits: join the Air Force and get some cushy desk job. Same benefits for a fraction of the soul-crushing retardation. My advice for those who want to do gangster shit: go Ranger or SF, being a regular Infantry grunt is ass. Also, don't wash out of RASP or SFAS, because you'll be stuck as a paratrooper, which is even more ass. Marine Infantry is just as ass, if not more ass.
