. Going into the military was considered a “foolish idea” until Reagan got in office. One goy in my social group coming out of HS went into the Navy and his parents had to make excuses for him.

I can't tell you how much flack I've gotten from my grad school classmates for seeking to join the Army. Most of them think it's a waste of my degree - "You could get sent to Iraq!!!"

Aw, it's not so bad. A little hot. ;-) Tell 'em to turn off the lying, scumbag news.

And best wishes in your Army endeavors.
