The army doesnt pay you to protect the country, nor does it pay you to do anything of that sort. The government figures, "Damn, These people take so much bullshit throughout the day, and have to deal with people who have baseball bats or tree trunks up their ass, that we'll give them oh... 18 cents an hour and they'll take it and like it."
I don't even remember why I joined the army. But all I know is that it was a mistake. And, furthermore, I don't understand how an organization that wants people to be trained to defend the land they live on, can defend anything when they dont respect the people leading them into battle. When you have someone that abuses power and treats people like dirt, and then says "let's go, follow me to fight." No. It doesn't work like that. I would follow maybe 3 people I know in this place to fight. and that's it.
The only reason I'm still here is that I'm trapped. Trapped by the government. Trapped by a force that is holding me back from getting out of here and moving up to a life which I wanted. A life that is much better than this life. However, the feelings I feel can't be expressed, because society these days frown upon it.
I need to get out of this hellhole. I don't know how much more I can take before I snap. I don't know how much longer I can hold out before I give up and let them invade my mind and turn me into a zombie.
Off to go workout.. I mean, controlled exercise they call "Physical Training." Yeah, right.
