Brian, Is there any way to demonstrate to you that there are people
on this planet who *willingly* choose dangerous jobs, dreadful
living conditions, commit themselves for many many years doing the
most difficult and/or life-threatening tasks? I know some of these
as acquaintances or friends of acquaintances or family. Every single
example you've given to me, I can counter an example of someone _not
a soldier_ who has lived that kind of life, committed to strong ideals.
Soldiers do not have the monopoly of that kind of life, I'm sorry.
(I'm sorry for you and for their difficult lives.).
The self-righteous attitude you are showing on this topic is
bothering me immensely. I won't continue this any more.
Amara
