  1. I will say that my religion is the lens through which I view the world. Everyone operates under a presuppositional paradigm, whether it's scientism, ultranationality, hedonism, nihilism, etc. There is no such thing as a neutral starting point. For me, it absolutely is a religious reason. The idea that evil people do evil things in an organized manner that isn't necessarily pragmatic makes zero sense outside of a religious paradigm. My philosophical disagreement with mandated experimental gene therapy, no matter how supposedly justified it is, is rooted in the anti-secularist and anti-transhumanist theology of my Church.
  2. I'm the Dostoevsky kind, not the Pastor Billy Bob kind...
  3. My point was not that I deserve some sort of sticker, but that it doesn't line up with calling me a phony. People who didn't want to try their 100% hardest to fight their case against the jab didn't ship out. People looked at me like I was crazy for even trying as hard as I did.
  4. I appreciate the Seinfeld clip. I just got an email notification for this site and saw this thread
  5. The way you frame it makes everyone in the military seem like either a moron or a monster. If you really believe this, why are you serving?
  6. Lying is also not particularly difficult, in general. Sometimes it gets to a point where you're telling yourself and others so many lies in order to have something happen, that you realize that what you're trying to make happen for yourself is for the people who are ignorant enough to not know the truth. There's more than just this life. I decided I would act like it.
  7. I actually went to boot camp. If I wanted an excuse, I wouldn't have gone through the torture of getting held in Separations. But that doesn't fit into narrow worldview, so you'll just ignore it. That's ok, boomer.
  8. People who say this have no idea who Jesus is.
  9. IQ is built on pattern recognition. When an evil pattern is recognized, either you can fall in line or you can rebel. You can say I quit all you want, but you're not the one that got chewed out by several handfuls of RDCs and legal and medical petty officers for standing up for what you believe in. I did that. I had to spend over a month in Separations with REAL quitters, delinquents, and crybabies. I got an honorable discharge because they knew how much of a shit storm it would be giving people like me general or dishonorable. You can call it crying from the sidelines, but have you ever asked yourself what you are prepared to give up your life for? Are gay rights and Israel really worth it?
  10. I know this is a long time later, but this logic led me to believe I have no place in the post-Vietnam US military or any of its defense companies. I do not mind killing evil men. I also do not mind killing young brainwashed men doing the work of evil men, if that means preventing a much worse evil. I DO mind destroying a third-world country in the name of petrodollar or some geopolitical power structure. Currently deciding right now whether or not I should drop out and get my CFI ASAP, or tough it out to please friends and family and wait to get it post-college (I'll be around 26-27 then).
  11. Thank you for the response. I appreciate you taking the time out. I will try my best to get a response out soon.
  12. To make a long story short, my childhood dream was to be a fighter pilot like the rest of the wannabees here. I'm currently a mechanical engineering student hoping to transfer to a school offering aerospace engineering, and earlier this year I was discharged from Navy boot camp (reserve air crew contract) for requesting a religious accommodation for the Covid shot. I have nothing against the people who got the shot, but this post is mainly for those who didn't get it or regret having done so. What do you recommend young conservative Christian men do now that military aviation is basically off the table for them? I've looked into civilian test piloting and other "non-standard" areas of civilian aviation, but they all seem like extremely cost-prohibitive and low-paying career paths, at least for those with no prior military experience. I just don't want to grow up to be that guy who could never scratch that itch with his career, and so foregoes spending time with his family for his hobbies instead of being a good father or husband. I like physics a lot, but a desk job doesn't really warrant the amount of torture that engineering coursework puts one through, at least for me personally. If I was in it for the money, I would switch my major to computer engineering or computer science. I'm just looking for some general advice or guidance. If you have some political attack or snarky remark, I would suggest moving on, as it'll be a waste of time for the both of us. If this isn't the right forum to post this, mods please let me know and I will delete. To all the pilots out there grieving the decline of the West, I salute you. Thank you for your service, even if we're not 100% sure what that entails anymore.
  13. Just to make this short, some ADHD/mild depression stuff is in the Air Force system for me due to a rule change, so I'm looking at enlisting in other branches just so I won't have to risk it with waivers. The question is, when I get my bachelor's and PPL and start rushing squadrons in a few years, how would being enlisted in an Army Guard or Navy Reserve unit affect my chances with fighter squadron UPT boards as compared to someone who was already enlisted in another fighter squadron or even that same fighter squadron? I have a lot of respect for helo people, but flying fighters has always been my dream. Thank you in advance to anyone who can provide some advice or insight into this.
