tell them you want to write a will to leave it all to a kids charity and ask if they will be happy to sign you up/over. Jesus... thats so wrong (*unless they were sarcastically asking you to value your life, who knows!! I don't know or want to know your parents). Stay safe anyhows.

Ok OP. Your parents were just giving you a wake up call. That is ALL. I know this from being a parent and also being in the military. Yes, all you liberal freaks (I do not mean to say that all liberals are freaks, just the freeloading ones who don't understand where there sense of security comes from) I'm in the military. Please understand that this is a choice, however we do what we are TOLD to do. I've served in so many different locations defending countless peoples freedoms and liberties, and then I log on here and read that it's all for not and under-appreciated. That really helps your troops get through the time spent away from their families and everything they know. If ever you grow up and realize that you are free to sit on your butt all day, and twiddle with your internet **** because of the countless troops out there ready to defend YOU at a moments notice, without even caring how ungrateful a human being you can be, just so you can play your WOW all day or whatever it is that you do. Oh and OP, if you can't handle an honest question from caring parents, how will you handle basic training or war? Think about it before you join. Please

Tell them, "None! It's all gonna go to charity you greedy bitch!" Unless you want to give it to them than I guess you should put that on your will.

YDI

that's a reasonable question. granted it's not the first thing that would be out of my mouth if a loved one joined the armed forces. thank you for your service to (im assuming USA) our country.

Well, for your sake, you could join a branch of the military that doesn't exactly go into combat. Like my friend, he's going in to get money for college, but he's staying in a branch that allows him to learn linguistics and interrogation. Anyway, if you're going into the military, POSSIBLY into combat, what the hell do you expect? There's a very likely chance that you might die. My friend's parents reacted the same way, but it was because both of them were in denial. They had been in the armed forces before and they didn't want their kid to go into it either. It just took them a few days to vocalize that.

they probably asked several things but you are focusing on this.

Ha ha, well shit happens right.

Sounds reasonable to me. I mean, if my kid was willingly signing himself up as cannon fodder for a pointless military action, I'd want to hear SOME kind of consolation prize was in the works. I didn't lovingly raise my kid for 18+years just so he can get his head blown off by some crazed Arabic militia.
