I have little to no respect for people who join the military. I can sympathize with at risk youths who are drawn to the military because of the sleek marketing, and as a way out, but you seem like a smart guy Dent, so why? What's the appeal? Do you really want to put yourself in a position to have to follow a chain of command? Wouldn't you rather be in charge of yourself, instead of having some half retarded gorilla barking orders at you? Don't you see the potential moral dilemmas you'll face, when potentially asked to kill people? Do you lack the ability to make decisions for yourself, without some secretive, rigid hierarchy telling you when you can take a shit? Have you bought into the propaganda that you’re “fighting for freedom”…? If we were in the middle of world war fucking two or something I can see why someone would want to fight, but we’re just invading other countries. Do any of us really believe that we NEED to be in the Middle East right now?
Think twice before signing your body over to an institution that doesn’t give a shit about you and only wants you to push forward the agendas of politicians.
