Zeta, you are also going off of one premise or opinion that anyone who joins the military does so just so they can go and fight a war or for the specific purpose of having "The Man" tell them what to do. Definitley not true in my experience as a veteran myself. When I said having "the balls" I meant it in that specific context above. Certainly it takes balls to say, NOT go and join the military and get into college instead, you know, better yourself and make a family? Not sure what you were trying to do by twisting my words like that but whatever, it's your opinion and thankfully we live in a society where people can say whatever they want. While you are also generalizing, thankfully, you can at least articulate it better than most so I will give you that. The goal here was not to debate war but point out the unintelligent generalization from Regal.
