Finally, some honesty. You're right - I was tip-toeing. Fuck me, this is true and representative of the military - they want to 'kill people and blow shit up'. This I see as a problem. But most people don't. What the fuck? I mean really, what the fuck? Insane, the lot of you.

Yes, true. And I'm grateful they didn't, because my life is easy. It's great. I have all kinds of choices. BUT MOST OF THE WORLD DOESN'T! And that will always be the way; some will have and some won't. If only some would have less, then some of them could.
