Right. So you being the smart kid you are know all about the horrors of the army, but all those that sign up are misled. Of course. Makes sense.

Anyone signing up thinking the army is about fun and dancing through the freshly liberated streets is an idiot. People sign up for the army fully informed of the fact that they will become a trained killer. They sign up for a minimum service time and under are obliged to fulfill their contract.
