Glad af I'm out.

I just wanted to go to college, I didn't even want to help liberate Iraqi oil from Iraq, but these unlucky motherfuckers have to participate in something even stupider than a normal "that resource rich land needs some FREEDUMB" capitalist pillage job: a fucking religious crusade.

Imagine having to serve in the military to be able to afford college.
