Most jobs in the military are not even combat related. Quartermasters, mechanics, parachute riggers and cooks are not getting shot at.
Tell that to everyone who was on base in Afghanistan maintaining vehicles or cooking omelets that we’re constantly ducking rockets launched on the base.

That hazard pay ain’t just because

you got a better chance of getting shot in most american cities on a day to day than seeing any kind of unintended smoke in afghanistan
Pro tip: Any time the government gives you a ballistic helmet and level IV body armor, it's a good chance shyt can go sideways. :mjgrin:
:mjlol: ok

Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven

He's right though.. As former military, I really hate when people try and portray it as some hard career FOR 90% OF THE TROOPS. Literally, only 10% of all service members ever see combat.

It's not some sort of diss. I make sure to keep that in mind, because so many people turn away from GREAT careers that the military has, because the first thing they think of is going to war.

Most likely you're not going.. And even if you do go, most likely you're still going to do your non combat job over here. It's a slim few going out in the field. The rest of them on a nice comfortable base, far from the bullshyt

Depending on what service you're in, where you are, and/or what your job is, it doesn't matter.




Think shyt is sweet cause you're just a cook when you got mortars falling inside wire, brehs. :francis:

....bruh why are you like this lmao

especially if you're in the military. and not even a part of the surge or the people who saw the hottest version of afghanistan. when iraq popped off a while back, how many service members were actually effected of those actually on the ground?

its really, really not like that for the vast majority of people serving. fact is, if you don't want to be in these places and make it known repeatedly - they're NOT gonna drag you there kicking and screaming either because no one wants to do paperwork for a guy that offed himself or ride shotgun with someone who will piss themselves and start spraying every time some civilian walks near a window

the guys who do the combat role see a lot and they're very proficient. everyone else? you got a better chance of getting killed domestically or in training by a mile.
