    All the ads for the defence force here emphasise the good pay and free education. Dying for your country is never mentioned. the mindset of the youth here in relation to the army is;
    "Possibility of death for my country? @#$% that!"
    "Possibility of death for lots of money and free education? *stops and thinks for a minute* a few say yes, most still say @#$% that!"

    You more or less get a free education in Australia anyhow and most jobs out pay the army for the same conditions (mining).
    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.

    History has proven that mercenaries will stab you in the back the miniute things go south. You can talk about ethics all you want but in the end there not viable anyway.
    When it occurs to a man that nature does not regard him as important and that she feels she would not maim the universe by disposing of him, he at first wishes to throw bricks at the temple, and he hates deeply the fact that there are no bricks and no temples
