Okay, now I'm just weird.
Jan. 23rd, 2004 03:30 pmSo I read on yahoo news that there could be a mass exodus from like the National Guard because a lot of such groups are getting sent out to the war and such. And you know what instantly comes to mind? That I should consider joining the military. I'm something of a contrarian when it comes to certain things, but I also know how very important our military is to keeping our country going. It's like, I feel this civic duty to pick up the slack when everyone else decides to be a dick and quit when things get difficult or uncomfortable. Of course, I couldn't get into the military if I wanted to, not with my various disfunctions such as asthma, but I still can't help but feel the sudden urge to help when everyone else is backing off. Maybe I can just consider my brother being in there as fulfilling the family debt to national need. :P Got to keep protecting the world after all, and more importantly, keep protecting ourselves.
