He has a tendency to not answer direct questions, though I'm sure you already know the answers.

I think you can figure it out. Even you should be smart enough for that.

I hate our current government and absolutely despise the war we are in and our foreign policy, why would I join the military?

No, I do not like directly answering questions, I like to make people use that thing in their skull once in a while. If they use it enough they might not need to ask similar questions in the future.

Money?

As much as I disagree with many U.S. policies, the armed forces will always be hiring. I'm contemplating joining a branch when I'm done with school.

Simple . . . use the brain in your head to answer the ultimate question!

I'll make it simple for ya' . . .

Then you'll be able to make knowledgable comments about what the military does.

Harder

People like you don't deserve the right to vote.

That is one thing this country seriously needs to change.
Military service should be a mandatory requirement for citizenship.

If you want money there are plenty of other careers out there. Heck, I could be making $80k/year right now as a PHP developer, that would be my first real "job" as a PHP dev, with just 2 years or so of working with it in my spare time/when I want to.

I'd like to join a military (not ours) to learn a lot and get into police work afterwords, but I can only do so many things and I'd rather get into networking/security, then probably teaching. Or perhaps after a few years of networking/security I could join a militia, then work at becoming a teacher. Who knows...I'll just see how things are after a few years.

Mandatory? Some serious drugs you be taking.

This country would be dead within weeks of a law like that being passed.

$80k here is not really $80k. I don't know enlisted or officer salary, so I can't really make an argument...but once you consider not having to buy food, clothes, utilities, etc. when you're deployed, you end up with a good amount of money in your pockets.
