Why would one choose to be a soldier?

i don't disagree with you HM. that is just a part of being in the military. we are not all stupid as many seem to think. we don't get to decide which battles to fight, which wars to go to, we aren't mercenaries. whether we agree with the cause or not, it is our sworn duty to take the fight where we are told. there are conversations that might surprise you that military members have amongst themselves that you will never be privy to. there is the public face that we maintain, the soldier's perogative to bitch about everything, and then the reality of what we think that we keep within our ranks. those that break ranks and go to the media - F 'em, they don't get it. they shouldn't be in the military.
