I joined the military when I was 18 and in the months leading up to it I suffered no end of grief from my family. They didn’t want me to join and they scoffed at the main reason I gave them, I wanted to serve my country. To them I was naive, after all you don’t do anything that doesn’t benefit you or your immediate friends and family. I did 4 years in and while I didn’t re-enlist I view that time as the most important turning point in my life. To the Stephen King and the rest they are fools who play down military service because they want to make their own lack of service a non-issue.
