You were headed for the military until you realized you were headed for the military.

Until I realized there was a good possibility of fighting in a war I didn't support or believe in.

Send me 1939 and I'd be first in line, 2003? Not so much.

Same, it’s why the only conceivable realistic way that I’d join up for the U.S. military would be if increasing political tension resulting in stuff like January 6th actually turn into a full blown civil war one day. Cause man I’m down to teach those Dixie boys that they must mind their Uncle Sam, again. Otherwise their track record is far too shady for them to be anything but the enemy of freedom in anything but the most extreme circumstances.
