I have everything else I've already posted and what others have posted.

As a veteran of the US Army I'm never in a big hurry to throw our military weight around because I happen to know a lot of service members and don't want to see them die so you can feel better. Much like I didn't want to see my son die in Iraq or Afghanistan. It's kind of personal. I say go join because it's too easy to start a fight when you're not in it.
