I guess you missed it when I did answer (and I must say I can't recall you asking): this was my military service in the United States Navy. Militaries are totalitarian societies, or subcultures if you will. That you have the option to quit at the end of your enlistment doesn't reduce the totalitarian nature of the organization; it's a safety valve or perhaps an emergency exit.

I have not claimed, nor shall I ever, to have been a Romanian exile or something. Being in an armed service is a sufficient lessoning in totalitarianism for any reasonable person.
