Oh god I had to share this with you guys

[SaltySpitoon]

As a lot of you are the sort of people that would find this hilarious in the best sense, I just received a letter in the mail stating that if I join the U.S army, I can receive a free movie ticket.

I just wonder what movie it is.

A friend gave me a hypothetical dialog for what could happen.

:die for your country:
:on deathbed:
:son stares into your eyes:
"What did you do it for dad.. what made you keep on fighting"
"son..."
"i-iron... iron man 3...."

They would do better if they offered up an xBox.

[SaltySpitoon]

yeah, I would have joined for an Xbox

[RodeoX]

LoL. Is that supposed to sway me over to a life of danger and family hardship? 

[bitrainbow]

what are they thinking? a life in trade for a movie ticket?

I dunno, what if its a life changing movie?

May we see a scan/picture of this letter? That sounds insane, even by my standards.

I agree, it my country has resorted to elementary school grade coercion tactics, I want to know about it. Pics or it didn't happen.

[SaltySpitoon]

Oke, just gotta blank out the names and addresses and such.

Appreciate it! It's worth uploading on IMGUR as well.

Heres the Imgur Link, http://imgur.com/KM9W5Uk,UcAs05v,Ur9dkxo#0

its probably just easier that way, so you can zoom in and out to make sure you can read whatever needs to be read.

I am fully aware that the National Guard is not entirely the same as the Army, but the similarities between them during wartime (every 5 years in the U.S) are pretty close. My point is, would you go to Iraq for a movie ticket?

Fail, I can't find the part that gives info on the free ticket (aside from the envelope).

Take a better picture of the letter where it states that and you'll have yourself an insanely popular reddit/imgur post on your hands.

The instructions have sort of small lettering, but I'll post it anyway, http://imgur.com/ys5tAnR,YRbbzxZ#0

[nebulus]

Sounds like a hell of a deal...

[Matthew N. Wright]

OP: Do the internet a favor and uploading it to IMGUR's "user submitted" section for upvotes, as well as reddit. This is a slap in the face to anyone already serving in uniform.

Well I'm proud to be an American
where at least I know I can see Iron Man 3
and I won't forget the men who died
to give that right to me

And I'd gladly stand up, next to Stark, and defend her still today
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound
'Bama bless the U-S-A!

as much as I find the situation funny, I actually have a deep seeded hatred for reddit and wish to have no affiliation with Imgur's community. It is a useful site for image sharing, but thats about as far as I wish to take it.

The point is, that is probably the coolest piece of mail I have ever received. I had a friend who joined the army a year ago, and I'm kind of wondering if he just joined for the movie ticket.

Justifiable. Imgur's community is by and large extremely... Pro-Obama, if that says anything. I don't personally know much about Reddit.

STORY TIME, tell us why you hate Reddit. I need to know now.

This. Did they downvote your cat photos?

[SaltySpitoon]

Pmed the two of you, no need to make it public, as I'd rather not start any unnecessary flame wars.

anyway, Jimmies, that GIF...... I love you

Weird Al would be proud.

Lol, its not a public affair, or a deep secret. Just something that doesn't need to be brought up.

[Matthew N. Wright]

Trust me, you don't want to know. It involved lots of tentacles and lotion and some activities that shouldn't be remembered.
