thing is with the war right now i dont wanna join the military and end up going. i dont love this country that much... i looked into the airforce but their starting pay is like 8 bucks an hour.
In your situation, I can't think of anything better you could do. They will pay for your housing, your food, your schooling, and all that shit, plus they'll pay you for doing it.

One of the great benefits of joining up right now I would think is that later on in life, you'll be able to have the VA hospital available to you. My father served during the "Vietnam War Era" so he's technically considered a veteran, even though he never did any combat and there wasn't really a war going on when he was in the Air Force. Not only that, but he had a "less than honorable" discharge.

He was diagnosed with lung cancer a few months ago, and he never had to pay a cent for his treatment. He stayed at the hospital for a couple of months or so, had all sorts of expensive treatments done and such, and it was all completely free to him. He can go to the doctor there any time he wants, even if he just has a sniffle and wants to get it checked out. All of his medicine is free as well.

At the time, he was homeless, and most likely he wouldn't be alive right now if it weren't for him being able to go to the VA hospital. He's 54 years old, he is an alcoholic, and he was homeless. Once the cancer hit him, he was disabled. I don't think he would have had much luck without the VA hospital.

But yeah, if you're in a bad situation, it isn't really a horrible idea to join the army. Free food and a place to live along with a paycheck and schooling means you get a nice helping hand getting to a good point in your life.
