there are conversations that might surprise you that military members have amongst themselves that you will never be privy to.

Ah, sorry, I wasn't referring to those already in the military. I was just saying that when one sees the military handled in the way it has been recently, one has a disincentive to join up, and not doing so says nothing about their patriotism.

I wouldn't be surprised in the least at conversations within the military - it's their lives that games are being played with - and I agree that the bar should be extremely high for someone already in the military to break ranks. Something on the order of direct knowledge of gross negligence or corruption and a coverup in the proper channels.

I always get it. I just like to argy. At least you haven't (yet) said that our collective consciousness is a remnant of our time on Venus, or that the power source is a giant extraterrestrial crystal buried under the seabed in Atlantis.

Speaking of that, is it any wonder that the greys put us back after they capture us? Why would they keep us?

"Hey Ooolap, check out the brain scan on this one."
"Damn, how do they tie their shoes?"
"I dunno. Hey, do you have the chip that makes em think they have collective consciousness? I'm out."
"Nope. Here's one that makes them vote Democrat, though."
"You sick fuck. Put that away."

lookout put the soldiering thing best. i've never served, but i've worked in jobs where i had contact with the military for years, and almost all of them have the same mindset as that. i'm jealous of their focus and sense of community.

I wanna know if Catwoman can "see" this collective conciousness. Because if she can't, she can't believe it and she can't know it. (cross threading to prove a point).

LIke anything else in life, each person who chooses to be a soldier has his or her own reasons, some logical, some emotional, some illogical, or whatever.

But, whatever your reasons, thanks for choosing to serve.
