    You’re not wrong and it’s been like that for decades.

    My boss is a vet and we’re the same age. Guy tells his kids not to join the military and be messed up like he is.

      My dad got drafted into Vietnam. He was real, real hard against me joining up (for college money). This was before 9/11, but only just.

      So I would have ended up in Afghanistan probably. Glad I didn’t.
