Discipline isn't going to help you do better in life if you end up in a body bag, and as such, people should look at joining the military because it's something they feel strongly compelled to do, not simply because they just need some direction in their lives. Due to the potential consequences and commitments, it's something of a big decision.

The dude's killing himself now. He doesn't have enough self-discipline to save himself through half-measures (e.g. smoking dope in moderation instead of in excess). While he admits to making all kinds of bad choices, he still seems to put most of the blame on others (e.g. bad childhood memories, people disowning him, etc.). He needs to make some seriously good choices now or he might as well just jump off a bridge to get it over with faster. One of those choices needs to be to remove himself from his current circle of friends.

Joining the military has it's risks, but it isn't nearly as risky as the course he's on now.

QickSsurfer, you should seriously consider joining the military if you want to change your life for the better.
