I hear what you are saying, and I agree that he is definitely promilitary. What I was trying to get to though is that he is far more representative of the population than a great majority of the “personalities” constantly being sent to the hill.

On a personal note, I think we should force the military to use a significantly larger share of their budget on active and post-active care. It isn’t right to break someone down and then expect them to fix themselves, and reintegrate back into society. We take advantage of the poor and patriotic, eat them up, and expect them to be fine. It’s a doomed system.
