I just saw on the news that more soldiers have been arrest for... Using abandoned trucks in the middle east to deliver gas to other troops, because they were not provided with proper equipment to do so.
Let's break this down:
1. Troops are given an objective.
2. troops are not provided with the means to reach aforementioned objective by their commanding officers/government.
3. Troops decide to use the resourcefullness that god gave them and that their commanding officers have trained into them. Troops accomplish objective, presumably without extensive damage to equipment or fellow soldiers.
4. ten years ago, troops would have recieved an award for their resourcefullness.
5. Now, what with today's extremely fucked up governmental structure and the fact that everyone in the world has a really sweaty vagina, the troops are sent to jail for SIX MONTHS.
Why in the fuck would anyone want to join the military? "Sure, we want you to risk your lives for us, but if you fuck up at ALL, you have no rights and will be sent to jail for all of your troubles... Sorry, but we have to please the people who are trying to kill us." Fuck that shit.
