Military service is categorically different from other career choices
* Eight year contract.
* Noncancellable, one-sided.
* 24 hours a day.
* Breakdown and rebuilding of personality in boot camp lasts a lifetime.
* Regimentation for total obedience.
* Surrender of civil rights.
* Degree of risk of death and injury.
* Moral component of killing - most victims are civilians,
* Moral component of war - most wars are over oil and resources and beliefs, not defense of U.S. territory.
The military is categorically different from a "career" and does not belong in high school career centers. |
