US Soldiers of Reddit--What is it like to blindly follow orders?

Call bullshit if you will, you can spend your time wondering how at 26 I could have accomplished all of that. But in reality, I have. 14 countries, mixed martial arts, I lift at a local gym here with my wife after work most days, Saturday mornings if we are feeling especially motivated. I have 5 years of experience working on Satellite systems and Tropo-scatter radio systems. Certified to a micro-miniature level for repairing electronics (great money repairing circuit cards), I have an educated in unmanned aerial systems sciences, married my wife not so long ago but fall in love more every day. My fridge is filled with chicken, fish, eggs, veggies, and fruit because I think being fat and overweight is gross and unappealing even to myself. I collect guns, and love them all. I especially love my Mosin Nagant, the thing is amazing, and loud. I am extremely enthusiastic about space, and anything that deals with it, so I daily pour over any scientific journals I can get my hands on that deal with such things. As well as other issues. Mostly of either scientific or ethical implications. Did you know Harvard is being accused of making the entrance program more difficult for Asian-American's? All while the dean at Harvard Business is trying to revamp the entire structure to make it more accepting to closing the gender inequity that lies so deeply tied to the campus? Pretty interesting stuff. If you spent a little time away from Reddit you might realize there is a whole world out there and you can have a better life without having to try and insult the men and women that fight for this country. You have nothing to measure my education on and you denied yourself a rational discussion by posting a narrow-minded, unethical, and disrespectful, and in itself irrational question about Soldiers that you know full and well is meant specifically to rile up someone so that you can get your rocks off with your greasy hands because the only way you know how to feel anything proud for yourself is to mock people that have already, in their short lives, done more than you have in your 32 years.
