Lets play war

Starting the compulsory Finnish military service in the beginning of July. Figured I'd need a place to vent my thoughts about a relic from WWI
Jun 25 '12

As of today I’ve got 14 days until I’m locked into clowntown(Nyland Brigade) for at least half a year. I actually have no intention of staying more than half a year in the navy as it’s always possible to serve through civil service. But that depends what I’m ordered to. Seeing how they tend to be ridiculously “impressed” by uni students it’s quite likely that I’ll pull a “Screw you guys, I’m going home” after two months.

The only problem with civil service is that I see it as a bigger joke than military service. Most jobs I’ve heard of are more or less just about sitting somewhere for a year, with minimal pay. I see it as a punishment for people who won’t complete their military service, and a total waste of tax money.

Soo… why am am I wasting my time on this? Well, as I see the whole Finnish defense circus is a total wast of tax money. It’s a useless relic from the first world war and they give guns to complete utter idiots.

People usually enlist straight after highschool just after they’ve turned eighteen. I was kicked out because of a “medical” condition and will most likely be stuck with a bunch of annoying kids.

Way to waste my life…
