Must be a different service/planet than the one I served in.
Mind numbing drudgery, hatred from civilians were the rule.

Your typical Strawman defense? I didn't use subhuman, you did.
No, to understand what it means to be a soldier you have to be a
soldier, in the same exact way you have to be a women to truly
understand what it means, or to be Black to truly understand what
it means, or to be Gay to truly understand what it means.
It's clear you don't understand this basic truth.
