Help. College or the Marine Corps

Let me start off by telling a little about myself. I am a senior in high school about to graduate in a few days. I have already enrolled into 1 semester of a university in the mid west.

Some part of me really wants to be a United States Marine. I've felt this way since I was about 12 but it's always been a tiny thought living in the back of my mind until recent years. Now that it's time for me to "grow up" I need to make important life decisions.

No one in my family has ever served in the military, save for my great, great grandfather who was a Royal Navy man in WWII. All members of my family are highly resistant to me wanting to be a Marine.
"You'll get killed", "You'll get your arms blown off". Stuff like this. I know that this is true and they have a right to be concerned.

Money is no object for my family, ie: I'm rich. The world was pretty much handed to me on a silver platter and I was born with a golden spoon up my ass. So I could totally do 4 years of college and not be in any kind of debt.

My dad says college is the best time of your life. I'm willing to bet that this is true judging on all of the college stories he's told me. Maybe it was cool to go to college during his time, but I think my biggest regret of going to college would to be stuck in a liberal fuck fest. –With the marines, everyone is like minded, and likely not a raging liberal faggot.

It's true that college would be a very safe place to spend the next 4 years. I'm pretty much guaranteed to not get shot or anything, and it is true that college degrees earn you a lot of money.

But the Marine Corps offers something that isn't available anywhere else. This is:
1. Extreme pride of belonging
2. Advanced training with weaponry and self defense
3. Mandatory physical fitness
4. A Brotherly bond with like minded people

I'm probably missing a ton of other points but you get the idea. Oh yea, I almost forgot.
The marines basically run your life for you 24/7 for 4-8 years. Having a structured life style would be nice.

All that being said, I cannot decide between the Marine Corps or college. Both sound like really spectacular things with many different benefits to the both of them.
I'm posting this to get feedback from you guys. Please tell me what a good decision would be.

And please, anyone who has gone to college or gone into the armed forces, please tell me why you decided to do what you did.

Thanks.

Joining the US Military in the Current Year is basically putting your life on the line for Israel.

I care about destroying ISIS even if it's "for Israel"

ISIS is Israel.

or

america isn't worth dying for anymore lad

You'll be more of a service to your country, and the marine core, if you stay state-side, make money, and get politically active in alt-right type activities. We need people like you - wealthy, intelligent - very badly. The Marine Core doesn't need you nearly as badly. You'll find a place to belong; you don't need the military for that. That's my two cents. Take it for what you will.

Four year army vet here…

Unless your choices are between joining the military or going to jail, don't join.

I'm proud to have served as a field artilleryman, but the military is fucked now. You'd be better off going to college and continue improving yourself in other ways than serving around niggers and faggots.

Then again, it's your life. If you want it, do it.

Don't join the corps unless the reason you're doing so is to kill people face to face. That'd be about the only real perk to being a marine. Marines exist to do all the shitty jobs, and probably are KIA more often than all the other branches put together.

If you aren't a complete retard join the navy and be a nuke or something or join the chair force. Both will give you weapons training without the possibility of seeing action while being face down in the sand. Maybe get some useful skills and be a seabee.

Option C wait for Trump

If Trump is POTUS by all means join the military.

Or go to college and make college great again. Both will be getting major reforms under Trump.

If Hillary gets a trades job and buy guns.
