It consists of two choices going back to school or searching for a job. It's a big step because it'll basically feel like you're renewing your life. It's a big drastic change. Taking a break isn't a bad idea but it shouldn't be an option because depression can hit as soon as you start to feel your unemployed and your not doing anything with your life but sitting at home.

What is a Military Draft?
A military Draft is when you are obligated to enroll in the military and serve. It is not volunteer work and it usually happens at times of War when the country is in desperate measures. Young men are usually called first and after wards it's the young women.

"On July 3, 2005, Sgt. Johnson went to a park not far from his base in Germany to be initiated into the 'Gangster Disciples,' a notorious Chicago-based street gang. He was beaten by eight other soldiers in a "jump-in" - an initiation rite common to many gangs."
No one can really imagine that these men are out there getting themselves involved with gangs. But the truth is they are! Not all the men and women that join the force give up on the gang lives they had back at home. Some just bring it right along with them and spread it even more. Every soldier brings their own stories with them their own past and their own future. Not everyone goes in with the mentality "I'm here to save my country, to earn money, to look forward to a better future." There are millions of soldiers in the force. Meaning there are millions of different personalities and lives in general.

Crazy outcomes
"A jury in Kentucky convicted a former US soldier of raping a 14-year-old lraqi girl and killing her and her family, Reuters reports"
A US soldier kills a girls family (parents and 6 year sibling) Rapes the 14 year old and then kills her.
They claimed he " suffered from combat stress" these are the types of things soldiers get into. They're away for months deserted somewhere witnessing horrible things and then they're mind starts taking over them. We're all humans and some things affect some more than others.

From a solidier
Friday May 22nd Hope for the warriors held an even that i attended. (Fleet week). I took the chance to speak to one of the soldiers and get a feel on how life really was for him. I asked him what was the best part about being out in Iraq. He just said "Honestly, just the friends I made but other than that nothing really." I asked him where did he sleep he told me on the floor and that he would sleep with other soldiers and none of them showered for months. He told me he'd have 14 year old kids shooting at him. So, I asked him did he ever kill anyone he replied" Yes, it's either me or him." He shared with me how one of his closest friends died in his arms and how he believed that only made him a stronger person. I asked him what made him join the army and he said "The Adrenalin rush." Later added he just got out of surgery; they had to remove a piece of medal from one of the bombs that went off near him and landed in his spinal cord. I believe joining is a RISK and it'll will always be a life or death situation!

| I believe their should be another way in which we can solve our issues with other countries. We can either come to an agreement or deal with certain things in life. But our lost in men in women shouldn't be the way to fix issues. The United States i believe has its good and bad intentions. We seek for what benifits us. I am aware that everyone likes to live comfortable and steady. But sometimes we can't have everything our way. We should give countries something in exchange for what they have. Make everything a trade. But NO WAR ! American Deaths | ||

Why do soldiers wear uniform?
Uniforms are way in making it easier to point them out and identify one another. Special pockets and belts are used for carrying things. As certain colors are used for camouflage which will protect them against their enemies.
