I grew up during the time when an able bodied middle class man could count on being drafted. I don't have a problem with the Army but it was considered to be the place you would go if you had no other choice. I intended to enlist in the Navy but the Navy recruiter was out to lunch and the Marine Corps recruiter wasn't. Next thing you know I was at Parris Island. The way my life was drifting it turned out to be the best decision I would ever make. Fast forward and every Police Lieutenant on my job including myself was a former Marine. It ain't all about killing. It's about becoming a man in a world of sissies and video games.
