All right, you hold onto those rare scenarios and keep assuming that everyone in the military ends up like that. You enjoy working every day for the rest of your life while we get to retire at age 40 or younger.

LOL if I was dead, how do you think I would be talking to you right now?

All you know about the military is what you’ve heard from the media. If you’ve experienced it you’ll know how boring and uneventful it is and hardly anybody ever gets injured. They pay you money for the rest of your life and you are set.

Oh and if you like cemeteries so much, military veterans get free burial too. Do you have any idea how much a funeral and a burial costs for civilians? $$$$$$

Batman hadn’t joined up I bet he would have had to have bought his own wheelchair

The look on the face of what I am assuming is a cadet in the background is priceless, like “WTF am I getting myself into?”

Image descriptions and plain text captions of written content are expected of all screenshots. Here are some image text extractors (I looked these up quick and will gladly take FOSS recommendations):

-web

-iOS

Please begin copied raw text posts (lacking a screenshot that makes it apparent it is from Tumblr) with:
