Suffer? You're not being shipped to loving Syria. At worst you'll grow some hair on your balls.
Yeah, hair on my balls because I got to be pushed around by some jumpcut for 2 years instead of training and learning how to do the job I actually want to do (games programming/writing/teaching, fields which are almost an entire galaxy far away from military positions).
I don't think people are any better for discipline by force. I don't have much interest in the military at all, and I think it's an absolutely ridiculous sediment that it's "not that bad".
It's almost as if you're implying I'm some kind of problem child who needs to be shown how to act, or that the rest of my grade were the same. forget right off.
