Well, I met another person who thinks the military is a bad choice.
Well, I got to my deep thinking again about why I want to do it, and I've finally found a way to say it.
I'm not going to tell you that I'm not afraid of death, because I am. I will tell you, however, that I will not be afraid to fight anymore. I would rather die fighting for everything I hold dear, my family, my friends, and my country, than stand by and watch it all disappear. I've heard stories of mutilation, danger, being wounded, psychological damage, and death, and it is all very scary, but I'd rather go through that than a life without say...idk..Jenny. (sry, just an example) I would die to save her if I had to. I would do that for any of my friends. I value all of their lives more than mine. That's who I am. That is why I'm going into the military.
This is who I am, and that's why I hate people who think that the military is the equivalent of throwing your life away, who think that nothing is worth dying for, and who think that I'm stupid for actually wanting to do all of this. I'm proud of who I am, and I don't care anymore of whose going to call me stupid, insane, or ludacris. I just want to give my life meaning, and doing something that saves lives and protects the people I love definitely does that for me. So there you have it.
