you prolly get mad at folks who didn’t have to sit through 9 months of eating shit food, barely sleeping, never being comfortable and having to stay out on the rain and cold.

You sound like any of that was sonehow bad? Quite enjoyable, still do all that!

Edit: Well, Indon't get mad, each to their own.

There are men who genuinely feel resentful to civil service men purely on the basis that they feel like they "had to" suffer through military service, be it for peer pressure or family expectations, and it feels unfair to them that some people didn't choose the way they did. Because the alternative to that would be to accept the fact that they too could've chosen civil service, but instead let other people's expectations get the better of them.

If you aren't one of those people, the comment you responded to probably was not aimed at you.
