I've been in the army for 3 years. I have worked extensively with the Americans, I have worked with the Brits, and in a month and half I'm going to be posting from Kandahar. And I can tell you that the military is not like in the movies and the media. It's a job, we are professionals, and we act like it.
My roomate in the shacks is a 17 year old kid who just graduated high school and seems incapable of distinguishing between fantasy (movies, books, tv shows), and reality. Needless to say, he's not very popular.
Yournamehere, thank you for a great post. You get it. And by the way, I've never had to pull the trigger myself, but I know plenty who have and none of them are particularly happy about it. And that includes the guy who currently holds the world record for the longest sniper kill.
