I was a youth counselor for 15 years. I had extensive gang training. For Some All is not all it seams when an urban youth joins the military. He may join b/c he wants to join a violent gang upon discharge. It's that gangs form of initiationAre you aware that some urban gang members require military service before you can join their gang.I looked at the photos. Maybe they'd lose some weight if they did some tidying and cleaning?
Poverty and lacking hope often go hand in hand.
People who have nothing to live for, don't care if they live in a mess, don't care if they're fat, don't care about much in life.
If you have a country that takes hope away from lots of people, what you get are ghettos, crime ridden areas, problems of all sorts.
You can take someone out of the ghetto who has no hope, stick them in the Army, give them something to live for, and they'll become a completely different person.
What is your point here?
That you think I said all people who join the military suddenly have a life long sense of purpose, and when they leave the military and go back to ghettos they're still having this sense of purpose?
Maybe that is the case.
However this is not to do with the point I was making, that is that when people have something to live for, they can be given a purpose in life, a reason to keep fit, look good, act in a good way, and so on.
