Don't join the army because you're just a number, and somewhere they've had a statistician decide how replaceable you are, or how you were a sacrifice for the greater good.

And once you sign your life away you get no say in anything or you get locked up.

While I completely agree with this, after somehow not getting hit in multiple firefights as a medic in a US Airborne recon unit, I'm pretty well taken care of - medical, dental, and a permanent monthly award that gauruntees I wont be in absolute poverty, while being allowed to work with what I can. I work because I want to stay busy.
But I am diagnosed with permanent PTSD from a few of the situations I participated in during my deployment, which is what gives me those benefits in the first place.

Sorry to hear that.
If you had a do over would you do it again, or do things differently?

I would join again, but maybe choose a different MOS, like S1 where I get to sit in an air conditioned building all day
