dawg, if you're saying this as grown ass man...
when you 18...much less world and life learned...not too many positive influences or acquaintances....and not really scholastically proficient......
military can seem like the best option.....
like mad niggaz who reallly fucking up, look at this as an opportunity to get their shit together...
the only way the military seems like a stupid or foolish option is when you have significantly better options on the table presented to you in a manner that's actually achievable to you...
military seems foolish to someone who actually has their shit together and is much more well informed than a kid.....not to someone who ain't get shit together to begin with
