is being a navy seal /lit/? Think about it: homoerotic, focus on development of physical and mental capacities, acceptance of fate, test of will in foreign and austere environments, cool experiences, time to read when not being shot at. Of course you'll be a tool of the government but that's pretty contradictory and rebellious to the modern psyche nowadays.
waste of your fucking time.. only for people who need abuse to feel motivated

Being an ISIS martyr is the /lit/ thing ever. You get all that's good about navy seals and more. Part tribal warrior, part cyberpunk hacker, Oriental Mystic, islamic mishima, Punk rocker etc. Terrorism is the next step for conceptual avant garde art. I'd join ISIS if I where you

it's dishonest to believe that surgical removal of terrorists is not a good thing in itself, despite whatever reason the real motives for being involved in the conflict are.

horrible
in fairness, this is a dumb thread -- what did you expect from lit?
you need discipline and focus to become a seal
if you think you can kick it, and if you don't think it's morally wrong, go for it
selection is hard and, more importantly, long enough that if you don't really want it, or if you just want to be a seal so you can embody some masculine ideal you fetishize, you're probably going to wash out
there are lots of college-educated enlisted seals, so you'll probably find that people are relatively enlightened, that is, not anti-intellectual, by military standards
if you're going to do it, you should read a book called breaking bud/s and buy military/mountain athlete's bud/s prep program
>>8830743
>focus on development of mental capacities
Really now. Suppression of independent thought is key to any armed force.
>>8830872
I don't think that's necessarily true though. Just because many in the armed forces espouse a philosophy such as this doesn't mean it necessarily excludes those who can think for themselves.

Pleb: Navy Seals, shill for al Qaeda and other 'moderate' terrorists, eat FSA ass and Choke on Zionist cock
Patrish: Hezbollah, Based Assad, Lion of Damascus, Shiite Martyrdom Aesthetics, Eurasian Fifth Columnism

Unironically this
being in the Navy is for fags

French Foreign Legion is even more /lit/.

>The French foreign Legion has a bad reputation. In France, most people take it to be comprised of a band of merciless outcasts with low IQ.
yea, seems pretty /lit/fit/ tbqh
The military is like the bedizenment of a stereotypical jock fraternity. There is no intellectual work from the seals, the only people who actually know something within the military don't fight battles.
