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.

Hair?

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...."

Now it's the GI Playbill

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.

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...

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!
