Those who know me know that for a long time I had considered joining the military. In the end I decided to become a cop but the military is my fallback plan. Diana posted a link to this on her website and after watching it all I could think was "Our troops die for more than what we know".

The decayed and degraded state or moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made so and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself".
