Would You Make a Good Soldier?

[Anarchemitis]

It is not a gun that kills, it is a hard heart that kills.

I do not have a hard heart. I would rather die than kill.

Although I am pretty awesome on Call of Duty so it's all good

What's the first rule of Gun safety?

 

[Razgrizaces]

I would get shot a lot of times over and probably die first. I tend to be a great team player, if I live long enough...

In Combat Arms, I can do fairly well when it comes to killing people. I aim for the head, killing my enemies faster without having to get shot at much. I usually rush in, guns blazing, firing at the first person I see if I can kill them. My motto is: Don't shoot if you know you can't kill them. If you can't kill them, you shouldn't give your position away. Why try to kill somebody you know you can't kill? In teamwork games, I usually camp by the objective, relaying information as I see it and listening to teammates as things happen.

In COD, I just go in with my trusty-dusty Assault Rifles and destroy anything I see. I hate camping, it's not really that much fun and I don't think it has much significance. Who cares if you camp and get 25 kills in a row? It doesn't make you a better soldier/player. Maybe help win the game and seize the objective and THEN you'll be a "better soldier" in my eyes.

So yeah, I would probably get shot in the face in my first 10 minutes as a soldier... you can probably see my answer for this.

 

[NeoShinGundam]

HELL NO!! I'm the kind of guy who throws the pin and holds the grenade. I wouldn't last 2 seconds on the battlefield. That's why I play Starcraft II!

 

[MrGalactus]

Might do ok. I take cover a lot, sneak behind the bad guys, take em out one by one with something silenced.
Ok, maybe not a good soldier, but quite a good assassin or spy. Kinda.
Either way, i wouldn't join the military.

 

[Fidelias]

Wait, the question is, "Would you be a good soldier if you behaved the way you do in multiplayer?"

....

HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA!

No way. The military operates completely differently in real life then it does in games. (With the exception of Arma 2, and possibly Operation Flashpoint)

In games the priority is to kill your enemy, in real life the priority is to WOUND them.
In games you can use your head to try to take out the enemy in whatever way you think best, in real life you have to follow orders, even if you think they're the stupidest, most suicidal orders you've ever heard.

But no, I'd be a horrible soldier. I'm not at all the macho, gung-ho type. I think of things before I do it.

 

[Blank Kold]

I would be a decent grunt. I would also probably get a section 8 within days of being deployed.

 

[ajemas]

If I had to go to war, I would probably be a medic. Thanks to the Geneva Convention, I'm pretty much assured to stay alive, though there is certainly danger involved.
If I had to go into battle, I would almost certainly panic and run like a little *****. If by some miracle I didn't either shoot myself because I'm a clumsy ************ or get my head shot off because I have the spacial awareness of a retarded housefly, I would be captured as a POW faster than you could say "war crime".
In short, no, I would make a horrible soldier.

 

[Hollock]

Me? NOOOOOO! Me in multiplayer games? HELL NOOOOOO!

 

[Wolfenbarg]

In actual combat? I'm a pretty good shot, but I wouldn't be able to put that to use in any situation other than me getting the jump on someone. In a real fire fight I'd just be spraying bullets in semi-auto and making my superiors disappointed with me. With anything else I'd make a great soldier though. I'm a good team player and I have a lot of experience working in teams. I was in JROTC in high school, which doesn't go that far I think, but it means I have experience with military hierarchy and inefficient bureaucratic decision making. I was actually seeking out military service after I graduated, but because of my color blindness I was disqualified from pretty much every job I wanted despite the fact that my ASVAB score assured that I could do anything.

Anyway, this is of course in the hypothetical situation that I was forced to be a soldier. There's no way they would ever take someone like me given all the circumstances.

 

[ReaperzXIII]

I'm the guy that sneaks in whilst all my other team mates are being retards and kill most people and then find ways to trick my opponents if the fight becomes too hard or draw my team mates attention to them.

If I'm not doing that then I am either sniping or creating a strategy to beat my enemies.

 

[Wiiiiiiilliam]

I would be Grif.

 

[Trebort]

Would I make a good soldier?... No is the honest answer.

I'd make a better officer or somebody in intelligence, processing information.

Basically, I'm to bright to be cannon fodder.

 

[chickenlord]

hellz no... not just because if there were a draft and they caught me from running i would shoot the closest high ranking official on my side but, i cant take orders the first time they are told to me... at least 3 times said it sticks with me, im unfit, i dont know how to shoot a gun, and i'm a gentle soul who doesnt really want to kill anyone for real... thats why i haz videogames!

 

[Vykrel]

i have good instinct and im mentally strong, but i dont feel comfortable putting my life into other peoples hands, and vice-versa.

i would probably be best as a sniper or gunner in an aircraft.

on the front lines, i probably wouldnt be too good at it

 

[Comrade Mateo]

I'm a people person. I gotz me sum high speech level in Fallout, that is.

I guess I would probably make peace between the two groups of people. Do good soldiers do that?

 

[Kadoodle]

I'm a whiny Jewish kid from the east coast...no, I'd be eaten alive in the army.

 

[Krusader.296]

TO be fair I haven't read past about half way on the first page, but here's my 2 cents,

As an answer, I think I waould make a good soldier, but not because of online or even single player video games.

I had something else typed out but I have decided against it. Instead I'll say that if people acted like they did online in a real armed force, the world would be back to using sticks and stones to catch,kill,cook and eat our dinner...

 

[garfoldsomeoneelse]

I'm hoping so.

 

[Ham_authority95]

I'll let you know if I get drafted into a combat unit.

Probably not, see as how I hate shooting guns and being ordered around doesn't suit me very well.

 

[Singularly Datarific]

Suck at shooting, good at taking commands and charge if need be.
Maybe, but I still don't like getting shot at.
Could I at least get to fly a plane?
