Never met one of those, and I lived and worked in a city that had a base in it.
Perhaps the pricks I've met on the internet are too cowardly to actually voice their reasons for signing up in person. Certainly where I come from, a lot of racists seem interested in joining the forces and go in with this attitude.
I was challenging the idea that everyone who's in the military is all about noble defense, and your comment "some of us RESPECT those who choose to defend..."
BTW, were you born prejudice or did you have to work at it?
I have a perfectly natural dislike of the military, it respresents conflict and is not purely a defense measure, if it was I'd consider it a necessary evil.
No effort required.
