"Serving their country"... you make it sound so honorable. But who exactly are they serving? I've never met a soldier, including my older brother, who has been able to cut through the bullshit and the propaganda to see that the only "serving" they're doing is serving the gutless politicans and the oil companies or whoever the fuck it is that has vested interests in whatever war is being fought.
The machine always needs fresh meat. And as long as they keep filling the heads of the largely ignorant idealistic young males with dreams of heroism and crap like "duty, honor, country" (or "God, Queen and Country") they'll never run out...
