blustockingGuess what's awesome!
My nephew, part of the wandering herd of now 20-somethings, has decided since he's getting laid off and doesn't know what he's doing with his life and needs health insurance, that HE'S GOING TO JOIN THE AIR NATIONAL GUARD.
Oh, yes, there's some fucking health insurance for you. You're 20, with no kids, no wife, they're going to send you packing. And will he listen to any of us? Noooooo. He and his stupid friends know better. Nawww, they won't get sent over...certainly not with trouble brewing in other areas of the world and a trigger-happy fuckwit President. NO, surely not.
I swear to god...I have to find something else for that boy to do. I just don't understand how THAT is your go-to plan. And why 4 years? Why not 2? Why not NONE and you get another job and go to school part-time? Why is the possibility of dying the "easy option"?
America, Britain, we will eat our young. And if the roadside bombs don't get them, the apathy, depression, and debt will.
