Some people sure. I am not one of them. I have a great life. I wasn't minimizing the decision to join the military...and yet I've got LT minimizing my job as "punching numbers into a computer". I don't think I'm the one with the superiority complex.
Yes I didn't know what to do. However, I'm glad I did what I did because now I know exactly what I'm going to do.
Good for you, but you make it sound like what I said is such an insult. Obviously what I said rings true for you, and look! now you know what you want to do! The military was obviously a great choice for someone who isn't sure about what they want to do with their future. In fact, probably the best choice. Not knowing what you want to do in your life in your early 20's is not only common, it's understandable.
Just because I say people join the military because they don't know what else to do doesn't mean I'm insulting them for making that choice.
