Well, when we enlisted, things were still peaceful, so being in the military didn't seem like it would be all that dangerous. There hadn't been war in so many years... [ Actually when was the last war, before the one they all fought, anyway? ] So it seemed safe enough.

Besides, even if my brother tried to stop me, I would've found a way in myself. I suppose...I was pretty determined back then...

[ But it wasn't fun at all. Not one bit. The military is a hard life, even without the threat of war looming in the distance. ]
