(and i don't agree w/ this whole thing, but i understand it, to a degree)

the military sort of breaks u down and builds you back up with a group mentality.

a lot of them over there know this is bullshit. they're the ones assed out 'cause rummy & 'nem don't know what the fuck they're doing.

but a lot of them are fighting for their squads/battalions/etc more than they're fighting for "america". sad but true.

if you can't believe in your "cause", you're still gonna believe, at the least, in your commanding officer and your buddy down there in the trenches with you.
