I would wait until next year before joining.. That way, maybe the Democrats will win the presidency and withdrawal will slowly start! Then, after the 3 months boot camp, maybe you will not have to go to Iraq/other nations and fight against your own Ummah!

Either way.. Do what you feel is best. It is all your choice in the end, and no one else's!

i dont know if i would disown my child if he was in your shoes, but i would most defnitaley be fuming.

couldnt you do that for the muslms :? subhanallah, our brothers and sisters are suffering everywhere, why not attend to them? why will you heal the pain of a kaafir, who is probably gonna use a weapon-with the arm you mended- to kill you brother in islam.
On the side: if i were you i wouldnt go ahead with it, simply because it distresses my parents too much. whether they are right or wrong for 'disowning' you, that reason alone should stop you for going ahead with it.

ooooooh that is why you are being harsh to me, you think im going to be killing muslims? matter of fact is no I wont be.

to every other muslim and non muslim here that has talked to me I really appreciate your help with this. This "sister" is sadly mistaken in her thoughts about me. I dont need nayone to bad mouth my parents, I love them, all I am doing is asking for help and YOU are taking it really personal. May allah forgive you. Assuming something about a brother is haram. Also making up false statements is haram.

Which sister are you referring to? Me or PurestAmbrosa? Because I don't think I said anything to deserve that tone.

moorocks,
since you are religious, i wonder if you've thought about discussing all this with an imam?
 
would you find him less rude if he had meant some other sister?
I am pretty sure he had me in mind.. he just doesn't have enough of a backbone to write it directly..
funny trait to have to when you want to join the American army--eh or perhaps it is the proper trait to have?..

:w:
 
@Malakiah: I know you did not deserve that, it wasnt aimed at you. because...
@Purest: I thought that since she was being the most inconsiderate one to me yet on the board that it was obvious enough that I was talking to her that way. I am sorry if you felt offended Malaikah, but Im not going to be nice to her if she isnt to me.

Backbone...pfft.

since you are religious, i wonder if you've thought about discussing all this with an imam?

Funny thing is since last night, I was thinking of heading out to Tampa to check out some of Scholars over there, there a re lots and ill go talk to them, it would probably be the best thing to do, Tampa has th ebiggest concnentration of Scholars/Imams and they can help me, and I am anad always will be open minded.

I agree with this, that is why I said I havent signed anything yet, even though I can if I wanted. all of my training would take a little over a year..
 
My understanding is that once one enlists in the US military that it is difficult to get out and a dishonorable discharge can affect your ability to get a civilian job. You sign up for 4 years active duty and 4 years in the reserve such that you can be called up at any time and extends to 6 months after the conflict ends. With the "war on terror" there is no foreseeable end to the conflict.
 
:\ My friend's brother got out of the Marine Corps after his 4 year contrct(a HARDER branch to get out of) And the dishonorable discharge is only kept for certain offenses, like SOME Conscious Objectors(even though some of them get General and Horoable discharges, like an Air Force guy I know who recently did it)

It isnt these legalities that I am after, it is a whole other aspect brother. But soon enough I will be heading out to tampa, maybe this weekend to go see what my solutions are.

Malakiah I would like to PM you about a certain problem, may I?
