Boo-Fu*king-Hoo!
The alternative if I read you right is:
1. You're not right with God
2. You aren't married to a great lady
3. You are DEAD
You are pissed off by missing that?
So now you are called up to once again serve and the only reason you can see to do it is shame? Better change that freeper page of yours "America kicks ass!" because you currently don't reflect it.
If you have been called up it's most likely because you have needed skills, are an experienced NCO or Officer. No matter the attitudes of those troops will reflect YOURS and if it's bad then there is nobody left to blame but you.
Get over it.
No, I haven't gone through the same crap you have, I've had my own bucket to pour and it splashed just fine thank you. So what? I retired an NCO and if I had a chance to go back I would be worried about my family and maybe a little concerned about the possibility of not coming back, but I sure as hell would not let my people know or post if all for the world to see.
Don't like this? Tough. You need to hear it.
But if I did join up, it could get weird. My Bradley would have to stop every hour so I could empty my bladder. I'd also insist Starbucks be served each morning.
And one more thing: some of these entries for some reason remind me of the council Job received from his good buddies.
