Until now I always thought, GI means Government Issue. So, am I right when I suppose
that as a soldier your are owned by *them* but they deny you citizenship? What a cheap
treatment for such a dangerous job. I would be angry about my government and my country
that actually wants me to sacrifice my very life. Knowing that, how can you still be
proud being a soldier?
