RE: -For those who've served in the military

The defining moment of my service was setting in a DAS3 van, bored as fuck, praying the 1960's vintage computer hardware (in 1990) didn't break down. We weren't allowed to actually fix any of it. Adjust, align or send it in to Honeywell because Uncle Sam paid for a 40-year service contract on all this shit. At least I was in Europe. Most of my 39D(elta) brethren got South Korea. I was smart enough to tell the CO that I was willing to risk a bar to re-enlistment for refusing orders if he sent me there. Germany is sooooooo much nicer. Of course, they could have sent me anyway, even after I refused orders. Then I would have been barred from re-enlistment (no matter, I did my stint and got the fuck out) and facing prison time for refusing again. So glad they sent me to Europe instead.

My advice: Stay the fuck OUT. A peace-time military is all politics. A war time military is politics with people shooting at you. If you want politics, run for mayor!
