you could equate it to working on the Death Star

That's funny.

Check out the comments, indeed. Most people in the USA have no idea what war is. OR care. If they did we would have never gone into Iraq.

He was totally right about it not seeming like there's a war going on. People are more concerned about "Bragelina" then they are about our own soldiers giving their lives for our benefit.

If one wanted to be cynical about the whole affair, you could equate it to working on the Death Star, but the food was better and upper-echelon officers seem to exhibit more human-like characteristics in person than Darth Vader and the Emperor.  Being a nuclear-trained submarine nerd, I guess the Army thought I was some sort of braniac and put me to work as an analyst (people that know me would say that is not the case).</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/CFF766C9-F17A-4CC3-83AC-9AE67EAA2CEA/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
