Is it normal to join the army just to get revenge for 9/11?

I just turned 20. I was 11 years old when the towers fell and didn't really understand the situation. After going to college for 2 years and majoring in political science i've gained a better understanding of the muslim influence on foreign policy. To put it bluntly, I hate all terrorists but especially muslim terrorists because their beliefs are dangerous and irrational.

I've decided to enlist in the army. Not for any moral or ethical reason, but only to go overseas and kill the enemy. I know it's not a sure thing that I'll go overseas if I join the army but if I do, then I couldn't be happier. If I could join the war against terrorism then I wouldn't mind dying for that cause.

No ones opinion will change my mind but I just wanted to know if anyone who hasn't forgotten the horror on that day agrees with me.

    I'm 19 and I'm a Muslim. I don't come from a religious family but I grew up in an Islamic country. Believe it or not the real believers of Islam are disgusted by what these terrorists are doing. They are not Muslim terrorists, they are terrorist that happen to be Muslims! Ignorant people like you make me so angry. If you want revenge instead of going over there and killing people you could be joining organizations that help people around the world, educate people! Make love not war.

    March on Christian soldier. Just remember that when you're missing both your legs and have to be heavily medicated for PTSD. So go nuts. Don't bother fighting in legal wars that actually have a reason behind them. Just go kill some Arabs because a few whackjobs from another country blew up some buildings. I highly doubt you're college educated.

    You're sick and you need help. How could you live if you know you're killing innocent people in Iraq. Btw it wasn't Iraq who caused 9/11. It was a bunch of Egyptian, Saudi Arabian, and Lebanese terrorists who were financed by a Saudi Arabian guy living in Afghanistan sheltered by pakistanies. Iraq had nothing to do with it.

    I do believe that it is alright to feel strongly towed what happened on 9-11. but that gives you no right to say tue Muslim beliefs are irrational and dangerous. You are on ignorant person and shouldn't be in the army in the first place if you only go because of that. It was terrorists who committed the crime! Not innocent islamic people. My cousin is actually Muslim and was born in Pakistan and he gets treated so badly in that U.S. it's sickening. Go educate yourself.

  • First do some research into who the REAL culprits are.
    There is a lot of evidence to suggest that 9/11 was actually carried out by the American government; Zionist Jews, to be precise.

    Oh.my.god. Uneducated Americans showing your true colours: and they're not red, white and blue. Just red necked. If we held the USA responsible for everything that has been done in the name of America as you are holding Muslims for an attack carried out by a small handful of people (who I believe were not Muslim), you guys would all be razed. I speak as an Ally of the USA, it's people like you who are hate-filled and too small minded that will lose your country it's power. If some Americans blew up a building of two in Iraq, and then some Iraqis dropped a bomb in retaliation, you still be rabidly seeking revenge and stuck in a cycle. Just sayin ;)

    the original poster is just a symptom of the problem. Presindents take 1 acorn of truth like fundamentalist terrorists and plant an entire jungle of lies, prejudice and anger that give them a good rallying villian to fight with. This reminds me of an article on a comedy website
    ( http://www.cracked.com/blog/5-ways-you-dont-realize-movies-are-controlling-your-brain_p2/ ) where the structure of childhood stories (good vs evil, beginning, middle, end) is reflected our societies over-simplified news stories.

    No one really knows who blew up the towers. Loads of different opinions.

    Okay, well, I know this war is alot of George Bush's fault. But I suppose he was right for sending our troops for war. If we rolled over and cried and didn't fight back after the 9/11 attack, then we would most likely be considered pushovers by other nations, and it wouldn't look good to our people. The war, starting off as payback for being attacked, turned into a war on greed and oil. It was good at first, but not everything is as good as it seems at first.

    I understand your logic on your hatred with the terrorists. But don't be blinded by it. Use it as your guide. Don't be completely blinded by it. Harness that hatred, and use it as strength to protect. But don't let it make you stupid. Be careful, too.

    HEllo guys please read unkonwn important information here !

    I am Muslim i live in jordan , i've just read what you said , and other articles about muslims And this is how i answer you guys :

    When i knew about what happened at 9/11 i felt seriously bad and mad !
    And if u guys didn't know terrosits also bombed 3 hotels which are ( Raddisson sas hotel , Hyatt hotel , and 5 stars hotel which is called Days in )

    anyway one of these hotels had a wedding and actually it was one of my relatives, my grandpa and grandma , uncles and aunts of mine died at that accident ! and guess what it was at 11/9 which is obviously the opposite of 9/11 !

    so you can not say that Muslims are terrorists, and we Muslims don't consider those terrorist people are from our religion anyhow !

    i am almost 18 , and just to let every body know i've been to america a thousand times , my dad is a respectable lawyer in jordan , we own 4 cars which are Bmw , Mercedes and 2 Audis , we own 2 apartments , a few lands , which is almost familiar for a family to have in jordan.
    ( and by the way jordan is one of the poorest countries in water , petrol , and natural ! )

    for me , i own ps3 , xbox , almost every kind of Macintosh products . my dad doesn't hit my mom , my teacher doesn't hit me , in fact he treats me like a son , i do know english language and is learning French too , and i pray, read Quran , goes to Starbucks ! and know what toilet paper is ( cause i read a comment that said at (Muslims jokes) that we don't use toilet paper cause we don't even know what it is! ) , and still live my life !

    so please all people change the silly says that you hear about Muslims =)

    please replay . thanks you for reading .

    I agree on getting mad. But It's just awful to think that on either side your on in any war, someone on the other side is going to think that you are the worst thing that has ever touched this Earth. Since you hate the Muslim terrorists, They hate you. They may not know you but I'm sure they hate others because of their beliefs.. Aren't we the same though? No matter what we will always be a hateful world. Us human beings have nothing to look forward to unless we learn to accept one another. Have you noticed the ones who try to change the world in good ways are looked down on? It seems like people just crave war.. Odd.

    I think it's very, very honorable.
    You're a REAL man, in my eyes.
    This is how the US became the greatest nation on the planet...and the dissent to this honor is what has made it fall so hard.

    You have joins the wrong army. You need to reap your revenge on the Muslim radical preachers who infect and pervert normal respectful Muslim practice

    I have not forgotten. But I think alot of people have become to tolerant of stuff. I commend you for wanting to do this. I just. worry about you. Even war has become to politically correct. Our government basically has our poor fighting peoples hands tied. Just let them do their job. The terrorists aren't playing war fair. Why should we.
