I went active duty when I was 17. I'll retire at 37, with plenty of time for a follow up career.
As long as some asshats in Congress don't push through the axe to our pensions like they've tried recently, I'll get 50% of my pay (averaged from the final 3 years of service), and access to Tricare for the rest of my life (which I do have to pay for, but only something like $30 a month).
In today's political climate of axe the military first, who knows how long it'll remain like that. To me though, that is worth staying in for, and it's why even though I've spent the last 5.5 years eating a gak sandwich, I'm sticking it out. I've got 8 years to go, and while I can't say I have anything close to the enthusiasm to serve that I did a decade ago, now I've just gotta keep pushing it out for that pension.
See, if I wasn't just ridicously fat (which I need to fix anyway unless I want an early death) I wouldn't mind joining the Guard.
i think when a young upstart decided to be an idiot like this they should be sent to spend a week with Sheriff Joe in Maricopa County.
Things they can enjoy while in his care:
Tent City:
They can enjoy the outdoors in Phoenix's 120 degree heat. Sherrif Joe says: "It's 120 degrees in Iraq and the soldiers are living in tents, have to wear full body armor, and they didn't commit any crimes."
Chain Gangs:
Hey if you are in jail you might as well give back to those who have to pay tax to keep your ass in jail.
Pink Underwear:
Prison Food:
mmm Nutraloaf, no meat, no salt, no pepper. 2 meals a day that you have to pay for as an inmate.
I think a week of that would easily clean up anyone's act

I remember someone on here, I forget who, said they read Al Jazeera for news, and was roundly mocked. Man, I didn't think that was funny at all and I think your post and the Buzzfeed article prove it well. I pretty much had to stick to them, Reuters and the BBC for reading up on the Ukraine situation.

Am I the only one who hoped his driver would have driven off with him on top of the SUV??
As to the military thing, I'm with a few others, in that I've been in since I was 18, had plans to do 20, but those have been stripped from me due to the downsizing military. On the plus side, the manner in which I'm leaving ensures that I get all the things they messed up in me cared for for life, and I should be getting a chunk of change to go along with it.

In the UK we're thinking of setting up a kickstarter so we can pay David Moyes to be his lawyer.
Assuming he can continue to work his own current brand of magic -- especially involving defences -- you should see the first public hanging, drawing and quartering for quite some time !

The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

These are the times when the Court of Public Opinion should hold some sway... Absolute BS. When the little gakstain actually admits to drinking (underage), and doing marijuana (currently illegal in Florida) there should be no "dropping the charges"
Sad but true. Sad but true. This guy is just realizing most of his fans are leaving him for others or just growing up, so he is acting out and trying to keep it from happening.

NO.
Any chance that sees Beiber having a future that does not end in a spiralling fireball is a bad thing.
I was implying a situation like "Angels Take Manhattan" wherein a person touched by an angel (haha, see what I did there?) is whisked away to the past, imprisoned in one spot, and basically forced to live to death.... In this way, this little kid is FORCED to endure his own career, from the "other side" of the spectrum

Go watch a video of him 2010, then watch his most rescent appearance.
Nice work buddy. It only goes further down from here. Next he will try to copy Michael jackson's death. It will work.

Yo know beliebers would make it it national holiday or something.
I think we'd ALL celebrate Beiber's death as a national holiday. We'll call it..."Thank God Day". Even the atheists will have reason to believe on this holy of holiest days.
Reality is a nice place to visit, but I'd hate to live there.
