should I become an army officer?

youre signing up to be a tool for the elite. some people dont mind that, they just want an adventure, arent interested in long term global consequences or even want to be a part of that elite (no matter their role), but you have to ask yourself do i believe in this elite? do they represent me, my children, my country, etc.? do you agree with the ones steering the ship?

>should I become an army officer?
No.

Being in the military is a huge commitment.

You can't just decide one day you want to do something else.

> governments always work primarily for the good of their constituents and not a small group of vested interests with means of leverage over those governments

do you really believe that anon?

I have an almost insane obsession with obtaining a substantial level of power. So, yes, I wish to join the elite and have an influence on the future.

well the intelligence services are a better option than the regular military, you will struggle to reach anywhere near the top without connections however

This isn't a short term decision, the military has been an option from the age of 17. I'm now 23. My whole family are in the military.

People volunteer to fight. Nobody is forcing them. Leadership also matters, the current US leadership is shit.

What kind of connections are we talking about?
