That sounds like a wild adventure!

I'm fully aware everyone can be broken. It has caused me a few hypothetical crises of conscience thinking about if there's even any point to trying to resist.

The Army has their own SERE school, but my unit didn't send me there. I spent my whole time in the Army at peace, so I was never deployed. I got a Desert Storm ribbon because we were technically still there, but not really. That was just a freebie for me.

I actually received activation for wartime duty orders because of 9/11, but I had ETS'ed the prior month. Their activation system wasn't up-to-date with their ETS system, so they just called it a computer glitch and I didn't deploy or anything. I was already honorably discharged anyways. I honestly thought about re-enlisting after that, because you know we were all pretty ready for some payback (whatever that meant back then), but I had a new baby, so I decided against it. My hearing was shit by then anyways, so I probably wouldn't have made it past the MEPS.

Anyways, I had a good time in the Army, and enjoyed working on helicopters.
