today I watched locked up abroad
and strangely, this time the person wasn't jailed per say
he was in a division of un blue berrets (peace keepers) in sierra leone
wouldn't say that that's what made me think of joining the army but
the idea of discipline, camradery (this might not be something current in the us army) and the work of a soldier
was really appealing to me
of course, I couldn't fight for something I didn't believe in but I am not scared of death,
and maybe killing some people would make me feel better but I think I could never get enough of it
stepping on a mine or a home made explosive would suck though
I read up an article in the news paper about this girl, she was 24-25, wanted to go do her part in afghanistan
not as a soldier, but some kind of reporter/social worker
didn't take long before the apc vehicle she was in rolled over an explosive and now she only has one leg
what a life
