Default Re: Mandatory Military Service

Just my little input.

I don't know why any Muslim would consider joining the US Army, especially since they will automatically be sent to Iraq. There was this one teenager who had only several months training and was sent to Iraq and got killed.


The idea of joining the US army is controversial just because you have one side saying that it isn't lawful to fight in the name of democracy, and the other side saying that if you have the intention to stop the terrorism in the region then it's OK.

When we invaded Iraq, we came in for the wrong reasons. We fought, we killed for oil. Now the US is trying to do is stabilize the area. Iraq is completely disasterous, economically, socially and politcally. So would it be OK now? Maybe.

But when you want to do the right thing, you get an education, get a career and donate your money to charity/orphans and that's much more beneficial for you, mentally and spiritually, than to kill somebody.
