Service

I had three uncles that served in the army, I've never really heard them talk about what they did in the past and I've never asked. My cousin is in the Marines. I've heard him talk about the training he has gone through but do to his position he probably will never see war. I know his training was some times brutal. In one event they tied his hands above his head and literally beat him so he wouldn't be apt to give the enemy vital information if he ever encounted them. I have a friend in the army and another friend that passed the test to become a Navy Seal, but he was discharged because of medical problems. I respect veterans but I do not think they deserve special treatment. It was their choice to serve. I would most likely never join the service, however if the time ever came to defending our country on American soil then I would gladly help defend it.
