Situation Report
I heard you talking earlier about how you were in the military. First, thank you for your service. That’s awesome and I want to let you know, I appreciate your sacrifice and I definitely would’ve joined up myself if I wasn’t absolutely sure it’s way beneath me. I have a ton of respect for the troops, especially those who I assume didn’t have other options or weren’t smart enough to do something else like go to college and get a regular job like I did. So basically all of them.
I can’t imagine what it must’ve been like. I mean, I’ve never really had to try because I did well in high school so I had other options but it’s so impressive that you probably didn’t and decided to serve rather than be homeless. Did you ever kill anyone?
