Also, the military is really good at curing someone of a sense of entitlement... at least for enlisted folk.
And creating PTSD, which results in 100% service connected disability, and then they land in my office. That was earlier this week.
Also, the army results in blown off limbs, which then results in your wife divorcing you because you will not longer be able to achieve her dream of an "army career". One of my sister's pro-army friends (I grew up near the Army War College).
So, maybe you need to add an "in relative peacetime" to your statement. Once Afghanistan is finished, we will be back to that state again.
