I assure you I'm sure as fuck not fighting to pay for college. I signed up to support my family and to make a difference in places that they need help. You may not want to believe that we are actually helping, but to talk to some locals in Afghanistan. My linguist would go on for hours about how much his life is better now compared to when he was a kid a decade ago. How his wife is now allowed to go to the store on her own, how his daughter is allowed to go to school. You go ahead and stay here nice and safe and believe we're nothing more than government funded mercenaries, or you can go over there yourself and see the difference we are trying to make.
