I've met alot of Soliders, and they aren't all the same like you seem to think based on the context you're posting in.
I can't really say I've met many American soldiers, but I know what I've posted is the general sentiment here. Oh, and for the record, I've met many, many more soldiers than you have. 40 percent of the friends my age are in the military, the other 50 percent were, and the other 10% are soon to be recruited, like me (with a handful of slimy dodgers.:P). 90% of the adults I know are or were soldiers. Asking someone what he did\does in the army is like asking someone over in America what kind of car they drive, or how they like their hamburger. :P

lus I was in the military so I can talk all the crap I want. How about you?
Have you met many serving soldier, who have actually seen action (either as combatants, or otherwise)? Have you spoken to, or heard high-ranking officers speak? Have you studied and understood the ins-and-outs of military doctrines? I assume not. I have.

How about you?
My recruitment date got postponed (AGAIN, bastards), to the 19th of December. I'll be joining the army then, to the IMIC (Israeli Military Intelligence Corps).

idiots like you
That was hardly necessary. I'll spank you, next time.
