My father served in the military. I too wanted to follow in his footsteps. I was accepted until they discovered my epilepsy was still registering as being "active" and unable to control according to the EEG...I didn't have seizures for five years, but I guess that didn't matter. Bummer, I had applied to Officer Training School in the Air Force.
He used to tell me one thing that always stuck in my mind as one of the most hideous things a man could say...but as I got older I finally believed him.
He told me that war was a way to make our corporations money, that it was all about money and although the public would be protected; it was the money that spoke louder to all the nations. He spoke about a lot of things he learned within the Army Intelligence. He was a brilliant man. He died about 20 years ago he was only fifty. I called him the quiet giant.
