Death's never really bothered me, even as a child; I don't have any emotional problems or sociological or interpersonal disorders, I've just never seen death as more than a fact of life, that sometimes happens maybe before it should.

I believe the military taught me more responsibility, and I definately have an exponentially greater deal of bearing and personal discipline than I did before I enlisted, but "rigid" would not accurately describe me.

I honestly think the United States could bulldoze just about anybody, considering materiel, manpower, and morale. When it comes to a nation like China, it becomes a matter of quantity over quantity, and that's a piss-poor decision to make.
