Does the US Military Suck?
Don't like taking orders? Why does the U. S. Military suck for you?
The retirement plan is poor and who really likes to get shot at? They do not look after their vets well enough if they are injured in duty.

I really don't like this question, because I don't think the US military sucks.
However I guess there are certain aspects of it that weren't that great. Sleep deprivation, getting shot at, stress, and demanding physical requirements to name a few.
Of course there were a lot of good things that offset those sucky aspects.

Comments: Um, just so you know, the pay is a lot better than $140 a month. It's not as if it's some high paying job, but $140 a month? That's ridiculous.
My husband's base pay (before all the added benefits like COLA,etc.) is $1,600. Not to mention they provide us with housing and and consequently we don't have to pay for things like water, electric, and garbage. Given the current state of the economy and the likelihood that the majority of naysayers to the military are or will be financially [expletive] in the near future, I'd say that that beats civilian conditions.
And guess what- it's not like these people don't know about the possibility of deployments, ie. Being "shot at" when they sign up.
