If you’re asking this question, then you are already a pathetic shitbird who is mentally weak.

>>20738788
wtf is "mental weakness"? how do I hit the brain gym?

>>20738779
Anarchist literature.
And delete these ugly little scribbles before you go.

>>20738779
Read Ernst Junger Storm of Steel or Mine Were of Trouble.

Hahahahahha

>>20738799
>volunteers to enlist in the military
>acts like a little bitch crying on 4chan needing to cope with their decision
>woe is me ahhhhhhhhhh
>simp faggot comes to slurp OP’s cock

>>20738809
Stupid fucking retard who said anything about volunteering? I’m in Israel and will have to do 3 years of military service

>>20738795
>Anarchist literature
>Most anarchists are weak, fat, or both

I can't imagine people so physically degenerated would be good to follow. Also, many are not veterans.

>>20738822
Read Mine Were of Trouble. You'll have a laugh. It's a true story about a crazy British guy who joined the Nationalists to fight Communism in Spain. His later book is about him fighting Nazis in Albania. The funniest stint in his fight in Albania is when he was instructed to hunt U-boats with a small boat and sticks of dynamite.

Topkek

>>20738837
I am not pro israel but I don’t want to go to prison anon I think I’d rather just do it

>>20738822
The Controversy of Zion, Reed

>>20738849
Your personal beliefs don't matter in this situation. It's you or them + there are desk jobs available in the Israeli military. Most people want combat roles to get ahead in their careers later on. Which city do you live in?

>>20738779
If you're in a western country/country with western support you'll have to cope with boredom the most. Most who serve don't even kill. Anyway to cope with menial tasks, read the Tartar steppes by Dino Buzzati.
T. got paid to kill brown people (fun)

>>20738849
Just go intel or something, bro. Just do you annual rifle qual and you’ll be out before you know. Life in the military goes by fast if you can entertain yourself

>>20738855
I live in Tel Aviv anon. I’m aware that desk jobs are available but I’m not sure what I’ll get

>>20738859
Read better books, zoggy

>>20738879
>T. brownoid

>>20738888
Still have better taste in literature than some retarded Ranger who LARPs as CAG in every thread. Again, read better books, you entry-level faggot

>>20738874
Just think of it this way, it's expensive here, it's competitive here, and women are pretty unlikely to marry a goober who doesn't have a good job. Whatever you do, try to get situated for good employment afterwards. In a combat situation, just do your job and listen to your officer. If you can, become an officer. If you can get a desk job, play it up as a more involved role so when you leave more people want to hire you because they think you did your part.

>>20738779
No, you should read a ''history of central banking'' my dear little zog bot.

>>20738902
He’s an Israeli. He just has to ask his grandpa

>>20738891
>Actually affirming you are brown
Lol. And idk who that person you're describing is. Your taste is most likely the same as your skincolour, PooPoo.
Anyway OP, it really is no biggie. You'll look fondly back on these days. Good luck and have fun.

>>20738907
>>Actually affirming you are brown

>>20738904
The amount of influence you think the average pickle maker has is astounding.

It's fairly consistent.

>posts a pic of some DYEL fag who posts pictures to his twitter of his 2 in erect penis all while living off his Daddy politician’s money as he LARPs as an “academic” “revolutionary”

>>20738892
>>20738907
Thanks anons, I’m just kinda worried because of the slight chance that I might get killed in service so I wanted to get mentally ready for it. I’ll be using it to advance my career either way yea

>>20738939
Read the Iliad anon.

>>20738945
Why?

>>20738939
just pay attention. unless you're literally in the middle of a firefight the chance is almost null. even there it has to be a really unlucky shot.
that said, for you and OP >>20738779
read the Bible

>>20738950
>Ancient book filled with war stories probably mythologized from many cultures and time periods
>Oldest war story
>Both simultaneously glamorizes war and condemns it
>The only way Achilles finds peace is through forgiveness and shared grief with his enemies

There's a reason Hellenic civilization read this book over and over again.

The Opposing Shore, The Tartar Steppe, Once an Eagle

>>20738939
You will never be fully ready for your first clash honestly. But you'll get used to it. Fear of death does lurk in the back of your mind but idk how intense it can get for the Judeans. I don't think a book helps much, you gotta get comfortable with it. But you'll be fine so really don't stay longer than you need to. As the other anon said, try and see if there are programs for people who served that'll help them get a career in normal society again. In my country we get a lot of help if we want out so I hope it's the same for you. Maybe read some memoirs of people who served in wars you're interested in as well. Good luck.

>>20738779
The military is easy, just do what you're supposed to do and show up on time. Also never volunteer and try not get promoted too fast, do one contract and get out

>>20738977
>The Opposing Shore, The Tartar Steppe
HAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

>Imagine earnestly recommending Gracq
People should read more than 20 books before posting here

>>20739008
>Read more than 20 books

Me having read hundreds of books like Simon says and See Spot Run

>>20738779
Just about any books work for as long as it's a fulfilling read. Having something to take your mind off military work will help you get through the day.

>>20739022
Basé. There’s more profundity in Cliff the Big Red Dog than in Hacq’s entire oeuvre

>>20738779
Haha nigga now is not the time for philosophers for you. Read book by former military interrogator which teaches you how to build position in a group and get along with people, Get People to do What You Want by Hartley

>>20739008
> t. Has read 21 books

>>20739022
fun fact, with proper intellectual and social stimulation people with Down syndrome can be literally normal mentally.

>>20739022
Damn, bro, this guy has a bigger jaw than you

>>20738779
What book will help you figure out which of your friends is fucking your wife when you get home.

I'd recommend pic related for anyone going into the military, regardless of nation, branch or likelihood of being in combat. There's a lot in there about training, and leadership, and what happens in the lack of it. Also stories of drinking and whoring and good times with bros.

I took crime and punishment with me to rom when I shipped out. It was a very rewarding read.

>>20739129
one of my teachers in highschool had down syndrome and you could only tell by her face, and some of her mannerisms. she was a really nice lady, and even got married halfway through the second semester.
