by Wolfen on February 13th, 2007
I was a good soldier, for many years.
by socrateswasfat on April 16th, 2008
Absolutely not. I am a United States Marine.
by Talimze on April 16th, 2008
No, absolutely not. The only role that I could possibly serve would be as cannon fodder, but I don't think I'm stupid enough to get myself killed....so, I'm like, the last person anyone would want as a soldier.
by Kal-El on April 16th, 2008
I think so.
by Oor Galooly - on April 16th, 2008
I was a soldier and I was pretty hopeless. I was pretty weak compared to the others and just wasn`t "gung ho" enough. The good thing was I always got sent to do the laundry. So while everyone else was crawling through the mud in the rain, I was dry and toasty warm in the laundromat sipping on a bottle of coke doing laundry.
by Jenniferocious on February 13th, 2007
No.
I'm lazy, out of shape, and I hate taking orders.
I would refuse to shoot or harm (or kill) anyone.
And (although I'm embarrassed to admit it) I tend to cry when people yell at me. I don't try to, the tears just come out. I cry when angry, frustrated, embarrassed, insulted... I can't imagine that would be a good thing.
by Takei-Shihan on May 20th, 2008
I was ... Artillery, then transfered to Telecommunications, then back to Artillery ... I was also an instructor of combat arms, survival, bushcraft, fieldcraft, mountaineering, map & compass, and I was the assistant instructor for the first aid courses.
by Someguy on April 17th, 2008
I could be a good soldier, but would not volunteer to be. I do not take orders well.
by Froggy on April 16th, 2008
Yes, i was a good soldier, i was Avionics "A" school honorman. Number 1 out of 185. Went to Oceana Virginia, where they gave me a job cleaning toilets. Then a PO1 offered me a job in a coffee mess, i took it. I made coffee and we sold all kinds of other food. I was in there for 2 years. Then i finally got out where i worked on F-4J's NavCom electronics. I got my good conduct medal after 4 years. I was a good soldier !
by scubabob on February 14th, 2007
Canadian Navy for 4 years. I enjoyed it, never got into much trouble (save once, a guilt by association thing) and I fit in ok. It's not for everyone and for some, well, they can tend to take it to the extreme. It's a job.
by Volt on February 14th, 2007
I don't think I would make a good soldier, I ask way to many questions and lack in trust/belief in authority.
by Anonymous on April 17th, 2008
Not if I was a cook or clerk. Infantry, on the other hand, is what I did and what I loved.
by Kaidou on April 17th, 2008
yes, in the navy
by shady on April 17th, 2008
yes i think so. looking back I wish I had joined the Military
by Anonymous on April 17th, 2008
I must have been a good soldier because they asked me to work for CID!
by Doggie S on April 16th, 2008
No.
I don't just follow orders. I think first before I obey.
by dr james on April 16th, 2008
done that been thar
by anonymous on February 13th, 2007
Well, I'm pretty loyal, work hard, play harder, and would quite happily die to save others. Yeah, i think I'd do alright. However, my physical ability is crap basically, so I'd probably end up behind the scenes
by doodlethenoodle on February 13th, 2007
Probably not, no. i get frightened of blood and people dying...
by Killura on July 1st, 2009
Soldier? Try Marine, and yes i was a good one
by Greekgod on June 30th, 2009
I did make a good soldier.
by Moongrim on May 29th, 2009
I was a good airman for many years.
by leeks5229 on May 29th, 2009
Yes, I would want to be a good soldier for the Lord.
by Anonymous on May 29th, 2009
I hope so. I haven't seen battle yet though, and i hate to think i would freak out and leave my friends to die.
by Jadey - Vive la difference on May 29th, 2009
I think there are parts of me that would make me a good soldier. I applied to be an officer in the RAF because I thought I would be great at that role, and that I would enjoy it...
Ultimately, I ended up pulling out because I didn't like the idea of spending two years in Labrador or wherever - stuck there no matter how much I may end up hating it. So that shows to me that I am not the kind of person that should be in the forces!
by account closed. on May 27th, 2009
NOPE, not at all, I dont take orders well and I question everything!
I couldn't handle watching my friends die, and little kids get hurt.
by Hardcore Conservative on May 27th, 2009
Hell no. But I make an excellent Marine. 99-08. Semper Fi
by FutureMarine95 on May 25th, 2009
Hell yea Stay Strong Fight Hard!
by American Spirit on January 16th, 2009
I was a good soldier for many years. The Constitution is still very dear to my heart.
by lisalisa on October 17th, 2008
Only if I could be the boss I hate taking orders but like giving them
by kirababe on September 23rd, 2008
heck no. i'm weak, easily intimidated and a big big whiner.lol
by Lovehearts on May 30th, 2008
Hahahahahaha. Does a good soldier cry and refuse to touch any sort of weapon? Is a good soldier scared of everything and hates any sort of confrontation?
If so, yeah, I'd make a good soldier.
by Twista on May 20th, 2008
No. Because I can't stand to be yelled at.
by Demonica on May 20th, 2008
Im not into confrontations.
by Squirrel Face on May 20th, 2008
Probably not. I hear the way to make it, is to just not ask questions and blindly do what your told. I would eventually want to question something.
by Taylor on May 20th, 2008
I'd make a terrible soldier. Joined the Air Force, and my current supervisor is still pissed at the recruiter, and that was 5 years ago. Honestly, nobody in the uniform is the same person they were before they showed up at Basic, boot, or whatever the Navy is calling their little party outside Chicago.
(Who cares, its the Navy for crying outload). Just keep your head down, and don't ask them about crossing the equator, (THEY WON'T SHUT UP!!) JK - Nothing but to our swabbies.
by Zubradevine has left the building on April 17th, 2008
Definatly not, if someone started shouting orders at me i would be inclined to tell them where to shove it, i havent got any discipline for that kind of thing
by hazel1908 on April 17th, 2008
No, I have a problem with killing people or anything for that matter. Although if it were a war on plants I would surely win, I am really good at killing them.
by PerfectlyPink on April 17th, 2008
No, I see the effects it takes on my other half and don't think I could go through what he goes through. I'm a great supporter for him and help him through all of the challenges he faces but that is as clsoe as I could ever get.
by miRi hates social norms and regulations on April 17th, 2008
nope
out of shape and slow runner
far too mouthy and question way too much
that and i have an issue with shooting things whose hearts beat,
makes me queazy
.
that being said, i hope my cousin gets his ass home out of iraq because i miss him, but i do support hiim even though i don't believe in the war
by RosieGHM Jetpacker on April 17th, 2008
I'd be lousy..I question everything and I don't do anything that makes no sense. So you see, no one would want in their command! :(
by Retro_Rebel on April 16th, 2008
No, I'd get lost from the group LOL!
by Zebulon on April 16th, 2008
Depends on the cause.
by Carrot and Stick on April 16th, 2008
Yes, because I am a patriot. Because I am a leader, yet humble enough and realistic enough to know I do not have all of the answers (a leader must know how to follow). I am capable of learning quickly, have self-discipline, pay attention to detail, and am tough enough to do the job that many are too cowardly to perform.
by Will Smith on April 16th, 2008
no
by Jeztyr - whispering in the ears of kings on April 16th, 2008
Sir, yes, Sir. Sir, I can follow orders and do what I'm told without answering back to my superiors, Sir!
by Firebrand on February 13th, 2007
Yes I hink I would make an excellent soldier. I like order and I think i would fit in a military life vey well
by Jamaican on February 13th, 2007
I think not, i dont deal with poeple shouting @ me nor people telling me what to do
by Brew Guy wishes he was icefishing... on February 13th, 2007
No, I'd be questioning my authorities constantly
by khammer on April 17th, 2008
Yes, I'm competitive. I like sports and I like to win.
What are blockades?

So now that they repealed "don't ask don't tell", will the military be getting "faaaabulouth" new uniform designs?

Should they have kept "don't ask don't tell"?

Would the military tell us the real truth about the status of our various wars? Doesn't the military have a vested interest in war?

I initially joined the Army and went into the Military Police Corps.
