I like the canned lobster soups too and the ones at restaurants where they put more meat in. But the stuff at McDonalds is good too.

No no no. Nothing at McDonald's surpasses actual sea food restaurants. You're opinions can be dismissed.

McDonald's and food shouldn't really be used in the same sentence either.

I remember reading on a thread somewhere that the Army was holding an online vote for new dress uniform proposals, and one of the choices looked almost exactly like Star Trek uniforms.

I still remember the poster's exact words:
Every Marine within reach of the internet voted for that one.

Bastards.

How so? The only one that looks out of whack is Navy. Marines got rid of the desert camies, woodland is the only one allowed. Army and Air Force finally don't look like the same damn branch

To be fair, it makes far more sense to have Navy uniforms be hi-vis than to try to camouflage them when they're standing on a sodding battleship.

Armoured for me, though my granddad was in artillery so that'd probably be my second choice

-Infantry seems too dangerous
-Engineer is too difficult
-I'd probably kill more than I'd save as a medic
-Vision is too bad to be a fighter pilot
-Choppers seem dicey
-Afraid of deep water so navy and submarines are a big hell no
-I don't know what signals are

As a conscientious rejector I would choose imprisonment over any, however many of our religion have to engage in non-combatant roles, especially in places like Israel.
