I know people shit on the military, and it's warranted, but I really believe I'd be stuck in the same mindset if I hadn't joined up and met the people I did and see the places I've gotten to see.

Domestically, the military is and has always been one of the great engines of social progress in the US. I don’t blame you for joining.

Internationally, well there’s the whole armed fist of the capitalist establishment thing to contend with, but that a whole different can of worms.
