When, honestly, a lot of guys go into the Army and such because they weren't intelligent or motivated enough to get into college. That's not to say there are not bright minds in the military, of course there are. But simply being a soldier doesn't earn anyone extra brownie points.(November 22, 2016 at 2:42 pm)operator Wrote: And I'll repeat, the martyr complex in some of these people is ridiculous.

“Love is the only bow on Life’s dark cloud. It is the morning and the evening star. It shines upon the babe, and sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb. It is the mother of art, inspirer of poet, patriot and philosopher.
It is the air and light of every heart – builder of every home, kindler of every fire on every hearth. It was the first to dream of immortality. It fills the world with melody – for music is the voice of love.
Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to Joy, and makes royal kings and queens of common clay. It is the perfume of that wondrous flower, the heart, and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon, we are less than beasts; but with it, earth is heaven, and we are gods.” - Robert. G. Ingersoll
