Why do goonies always come out with that crap? 'Ah, yes, the ...' If you want logic/reason, use some. Personally, I started with the critical thinking at age 6, with my first library card, and Korea. I knew quite well JFK was a self-proclaimed socialist when he ran. I also knew that election was fixed. You see, it WAS in the newspapers that printed truth. I knew Vietnam was a farce, same as Korea. So I chose my service/MOS to reflect that fact: I flew ASW and CSAR for several thousand hours, meaning besides being able to shoot, I could fly the helo, I could do field hospital stuff in my helo, and other items. It also means that there were five military who were trained as extensively as we were. The entire program meant intelligent people who were willing and able to do shit nobody else could. More: after I left active service, I worked as an R&D electronics while in college. I also, on a lark, joined Mensa, just to piss another engineer off. What all you people don't realize is that there is a major difference sitting on a couch pushing buttons and being a target in a helo while your M-60 is getting hot. What you don't see/feel is a warm dead body next to you, either one of your own or one of the enemy. If it's the enemy, you killed it. I've had trained Jarheads (with respect) pee their pants, fire off entire mags with the safety on, try to shoot off the rotor blades, and hide in the interior, out of the line of fire. I've seen VC drop into the jungle from angels 4. And I've shoved the guts back into wounded soldiers/pilots, besides having wounded screaming in their pain, wondering where their leg/legs were. Play your f-ing games, but don't ever think you're prepared for war.
