      Batman hadn’t joined up I bet he would have had to have bought his own wheelchair

      The look on the face of what I am assuming is a cadet in the background is priceless, like “WTF am I getting myself into?”

      All right, you hold onto those rare scenarios and keep assuming that everyone in the military ends up like that. You enjoy working every day for the rest of your life while we get to retire at age 40 or younger.

          LOL if I was dead, how do you think I would be talking to you right now?

          All you know about the military is what you’ve heard from the media. If you’ve experienced it you’ll know how boring and uneventful it is and hardly anybody ever gets injured. They pay you money for the rest of your life and you are set.

          Oh and if you like cemeteries so much, military veterans get free burial too. Do you have any idea how much a funeral and a burial costs for civilians? $$$$$$

                Ha! Trying to talk me out of joining the military now that you given away the secret to easy street. Nice try. Bet they hire me as an officer after they see how big my dick is.

                That’s part of it right? They look at your dick; just to check. Right?

              Like my 89-year-old grandfather who was a World war II veteran, the military paid for his funeral. His death had absolutely nothing to do with military service. He died of old age, decades after World war II.

                I wonder if I could talk them into giving me the funeral money and just throwing me in a ditch instead.

                my grandfather was a wwii veteran, and they took pretty good care of him.

                his brother was also a wwii veteran and spent the rest of his life drinking away the horrors he’d seen and scream-sobbing any time there was a thunderstorm.
