That's right. My plumage is brighter than yours.

Garem: Chaos is a tool because his reasoning is toolish. You're an idiot because you missed out on all the argument beforehand and then made the same stupid type of remark. I'm not throwing around ad hominems here; there is plenty of reason to go around.
I read all of the "argument", and still said what needed to be said. Whenever you enter the military, you have a chance of killing another person. Considering the fact that we're in places we shouldn't be in, you would essentially be killing innocents.
Of course you have the chance, you're in the military. But the chance is small--and you DO have a choice when it comes down to it. Situations are variable and must be judged with the best intelligence when the time comes. I won't mow down citizens and little kids, but I also don't deny that some people do that. That's not my training, and that's not my temperament--I'm not enlisting with some power issues, or sadistic tendencies, or sociopathic tendencies. I know who I am and I have made an adult, educated life decision. To have to defend that decision for two pages is ridiculous. Take it from me, I've mulled this over once or twice in my head, and I know what I'm getting into.
I mean, would you LIKE me to show you the list of Navy enlisted jobs? Cooks and boatswain mates and nukes and linguists and corpsmen aren't exactly trained to kill people, you know. A lot of the Navy jobs out their are support jobs, defensive jobs. Unless you go special ops, it's unlikely that you'll have an offensive type job.
