I think I can't say much about our troops other than I respect a great many of them because of how much they put on the line to serve their country and protect the people they love. Sure, you get a lot of assholes and even sociopaths who do it for the thrill of killing or to get a GED or stay out of prison or something along those lines, but I like to think we have a lot of very good people willing to die for the people they care about out there. I don't agree with many things our country sends our military out to do, but that's a separate issue entirely. A very large portion of my family is or was in the military, some marines, some air force, but all of them are people I respect immensely for the sacrifices they've made."}
