So it's official, my life blows ass. You can only hang out with the same people over and over again for so long. Now no matter where I go stress awaits me. Screw this bullshit.

i'm with dodge on this. but if you're serious at least wait til after the election to decide. we're in another guerilla war with no exit strategy. hopefully come next year, that will change. in the meantime read some combat memoirs, books on the tuskegee experiments, the my lai massacre, the tailhook scandals... hell, there was a rape coverup just last month.
and now for something completely different...

Cut to colonel's office. Colonel is seated at desk.
Colonel: Come in, what do you want?
Private Watkins enters and salutes.
Watkins: I'd like to leave the army please, sir.
Colonel: Good heavens man, why?
Watkins: It's dangerous.
Colonel: What?
Watkins: There are people with guns out there, sir.
Colonel: What?
Watkins: Real guns, sir. Not toy ones, sir. Proper ones, sir. They've all got 'em. All of 'em, sir. And some of 'em have got tanks.
Colonel: Watkins, they are on our side.
Watkins: And grenades, sir. And machine guns, sir. So I'd like to leave, sir, before I get killed, please.
Colonel: Watkins, you've only been in the army a day.
Watkins: I know sir but people get killed, properly dead, sir, no barley cross fingers, sir. A bloke was telling me, if you're in the army and there's a war you have to go and fight.
Colonel: That's true.
Watkins: Well I mean, blimey, I mean if it was a big war somebody could be hurt.
Colonel: Watkins why did you join the army?
Watkins: For the water-skiing and for the travel, sir. And not for the killing, sir. I asked them to put it on my form, sir - no killing.
Colonel: Watkins are you a pacifist?
Watkins: No sir, I'm not a pacifist, sir. I'm a coward.
Colonel: That's a very silly line. Sit down.
Watkins: Yes sir. Silly, sir.
