I mean, honestly, how desperate is the Army that it's recruiting those of us in our early middle age? And how desperate am I that I'm thinking about the benefits of the G.I. Bill? I mean, I actually looked up the website....

Wait a minute, I hate guns. And violence. And inflexible, hierarchical organizations. And having to shoot people. And being shot.

Well, at least I can't be drafted. Thank goodness for that, I guess.
