Do you want to join the army if you have a choice ?

When I was only a kid , I love to watch those war movies and seeing those "hero" fought with the bad guys from the other side. Looks like it was fun to play with a water gun and fought a battle with the other children. When I grew up a bit, I watched some of the movies saying the ugly side of a war and what happen after the war to all the people, then I stared to think differently. However, when there are so many bad guys in this world and sometimes it is important to use the military strength to stop them before they will do more harms to the innocent people, then I will think that military strength is important. but if I have a choice , I prefer not to join the army because the training is not just tough but there are always so many terrible story happen during the training. Well, that's what I think anyway. Share with us about your opinion.

Honestly, I don't think that being a soldier is for me. I do have a lot of respect for the people who are in the armed forces. It can't be easy. But it's just not something that I've considered doing.

No problem. Enjoy your life in Canada without being a soldier then. Canada is lovely and I've been Montreal before.

if i'd known earlier that i can join the army adn be a soldier I would've. I only learned about the military academy in our country when I was in college. All along I thought that those military men are only enlists of men and women who either were college graduates or not at all. When I learned that you can actually enter at the age of 17 to 21, I was pretty sad..

Heheh yeah I would love to because I have a zest towards military training and adventure.And sometimes seeing them doing so much for the country and seeing the courage and bravery aspect of them I get inspired to a large extent.

I would not sign up for the army. I completely support the people who do. They are all heroes but it is just not for me.
