To be honest, I have given up on this thread long ago. It was an Idea that I had to see what everyone thought about a life choice, and it turned into a virtual back and forth about whether one could kill for the sake of the government. It was never supposed to be a war about war, only a question posed to my friends about something that meant a lot to me. To be honest, this is one of the reasons that i have been staying away. It has mad me a bit upset to say the least. What made the most mad was the fact that while I stood there watching this thread grow, everyone was taking shots at each other. People getting mad about a single statment that was said. I never thought that this would end up having to become a split topic that only Marco saw as the right thing to do to put the main topic back on track.

 This and the minor depression or withdrawals that I have been having over not seeing my lover for the past 3 weeks has kept me away from everyone else.  This is the LAST post that I am making in this thread, so dont ask questions unless you want to PM me.

I have been sworn in, I am now an Army Soldier, I leave for Basic Combat Training on January 23 and I am going to be going through 36 weeks of total training. I got the job I wanted doing Satellite communications station Operations and Maintainence.

GH, Laguna maybe had to see it coming but still the thread has become very much off topic. For Laguna's post and the fact that the thread has done its course, i'm closing it down... i want to make clear it's just an administrative task, it's not an act of reprimend to ANY of you.

I was glad the discussion has been brought along in a pretty calm and reasonable way despite the touchy subject and the views of the argumenters, but this is just not the right place. Besides now there's a thread for that
