Speak for yourself, faggot.
Some of us didn't see much point in wearing a uniform when we were just going to have to resort to rebellion/anarchy, anyway.
Before Q came along and told us to cool our shit and not trigger global genocide. I decided to trust the secret society I dreamed existed when I was younger and predicted would save humanity from a war with China ahead of an ET recon-in-force type of situation in around the year 2024-2026. The real meat and potatoes of the story was in 2018 when civil unrest led to war in the U.S. and a Chinese led occupation force with a completely neutered military which fractured. Around 2020 was the major turning point in the U.S. conflict after a secret society of prior service and defense contractors had built a large enough force to conduct 'regular' military operations using technology that was all pre-market and unavailable for mass production elsewhere. Effectively giving rebel and partisan fighters access to black program technology.
Then there were the genetically engineered humans who were released into the general population and lost track of following budget cuts and restructuring of restricted access programs in the 90s. Those chickens came back home to roost and were some of the star characters of the series.
But I am kind of digressing away from the point… Q is what I expected out of our military, and what I tried desperately to see signs of while I was in it. Finding only evidence that such things had been destroyed, I had little choice but to leave the uniform behind. Especially once I realized that they were actively looking to kill members of the military. Ships spontaneously colliding on perpendicular intercept courses. Planes falling out of the sky. Special forces teams getting erased from existence. Getting dispatched to an embassy to be abandoned to a mob with ISIS cells active within.
I've got better ways to suicide myself for my country, if that is ever required. When you have an IQ and upbringing well outside the standard deviation for the job you do… You realize that the people you work with and care about can't really understand the danger they are in. They know things aren't right. They know there are evil people in charge of things… But they still have a sort of normalcy bias that prevents them from seeing the writing on the wall.
They think in terms of day to day life. They think in terms of very practical and tactile goals. They don't see that they are being maneuvered for extermination. They don't see that they are being assessed as a resource.
… Eh, I'm rambling. Time for bed.
