Have u ever served
@Tidal?
In the military? Nah..
Cue yet another anecdote-
I thought of joining the Brit Army in my teens and sent off for a brochure, but decided I wouldn't be able to do all that boot-polishing bull and stuff, and also wouldn't be able to follow any orders I didn't agree with, so I dropped the idea.
Got a shock a couple of weeks later when a 'Sergeant Butterfield' from the local recruiting office came knocking my door in full dress uniform, stripes and all, on a courtesy follow-up visit, but I didn't answer and dived behind the settee til he'd left his card and gone, and I heard nothing more.
As a final gesture I tore the signing-up form out of the brochure and filled it in with the name and address of a cheeky kid who lived down the street and sent that in; dunno if they ever came for him.
If I'd joined myself I'd probably be a Field Marshal by now and would have won gongs for busting the Taliban's ass..
