There's no way I'd ever re-up. And if I get drafted or something I'll claim conscientious objector status. Not that it would ever happen. One time a fellow veteran in a class of mine was saying, "Why don't you reenlist? Huh? Why? Uncle Sam needs you!" Without thinking I spat, "Uncle Sam can eat me!" before I realized he was winding me up. He got me. And I'd said that loud enough for the professor to hear, a kind, elderly gentleman. Oops.
Don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't support the troops, because I do. They're doing their jobs in the best manner possible and putting their lives at stake. It's not the troops' fault that the country's leadership has their heads up their collective asses. Ugh, this topic renders me inarticulate.
