Antimillitary - Tumblr Posts

I hate the fact that I was so ready to go into navy cadets and seriously consider a military path, preferably navy diver, then seeing one post about anit-millitary people and just fucking breaking

i know that soldiers kill people

i know that they cause destruction

but do you know what would happen if the stopped defending us?

do you know what would've happened if we didn't have an army back in WW1 and WW2

life is shit

people are shit

there are also plenty of people in the military who have never killed anyone

working in humanitarian aid, office jobs, psychologists and doctors and cooks, even musicians

before hating on someone for doing their job and protecting thier country no matter what, do some fucking research

ik there are shitty soldiers

*cough cough* russia *cough cough*

but that doesn't mean there arent good soldiers too, people who joined the military to protect, to serve, to have a purpose

i dont want to join the military because of cod, sure i like the game, but i want to join the military because i want to serve and protect

i want to be like that lovely small arms and seamanship specialist i talked to a few times

i want to be like that strict but soft woman in the airforce who advocates for indigenous health and inclusion

i want to be like that goofy and loveable humanitarian aid soldier who helped people during floods

i want to be known as the small navy diver with a big heart

who never gave up

who never left anyone behind

who challenged beliefs

who inspired others

like they inspired me
