I would have, certainly. Back then i hated army and navy for the boring waste of time and had some clashes with superiors, but i did my job. I was actually quite good in it, but saw no future in the military.
We had an instructor during basic training
which [sic] was a swine. I am sure he would have been shot from behind in the first day of a real war.
With some more intelligent people i guess it could have been a completely different experience. But certain people and mindsets seem to accumulate in certain .. branches.
I'm too old by now anyway.
Last time i thought i'd really take up a weapon was when 'Daesh' destroyed Palmyra.
^^^ Sandbag would be a good job description for me though
