You're talking to an Iraq War veteran, boot. Enjoy being cannon fodder for the rich! They own you for 4-8 years.

Get off your high horse, grunt. I'm cruising down here far, far away from anything even remotely resembling action, with hot food for breakfast, lunch and dinner, AC, and hot showers every night. Nuclear submarine go brrr. Proud bubblehead.
