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

Dude, it has been addressed. Just because you are ordered to do something, that doesn't vanquish your free will.
Boot camp pretty much exists to break you down and make you dependent on the Army for orders. And when you have three grown-ass men shouting orders at you; men who you have pretty been forced to worship like God for three or four years, you pretty much do what they say. It's why the atrocities in Vietnam happened, not because the soldiers were "sadistic".
It's a pretty -blam!- up process, actually.
I have a feeling you watched Full Metal Jacket and now you have a FMJ complex.
First off, I'm going Navy, dude, nor Army.
Second off, Navy boot camp is not that bad AT ALL. I've had a lot of friends and my brother go through it; they said its cake. And they are not automatons. They are still perfectly rational.
Third off, what is this about worshipping your superiors? From what I understand, a lot of people end up just getting irritated at their superiors.
Garem, compared to Turkey, or milla, or me, what would you say is your actual experience with the armed forces, particularly the Navy?The argument has evolved. I'm talking about how being a soldier is bad.
