War is not about noblesse, romanticism and honour, but killing the enemy and destroying everything that is between you and the goal you want to achieve.

If you want romanticism, do a private duel in your spare time. But save the soldiers and pilots in real wars from your dangerous sentimentality. You could cost them their lives.

Can you please explain to me how I am costing lives in a war by posting on Subsim?

I have the deepest respect for anyone who puts on a uniform to defend me or my country. I even respect those who do it for other countries. They fight so that we have the right to free speech. They fight so we can sleep safely in our homes at night without worrying about getting deported. I don't want romanticism. I want to serve my country. I will try to get in to fly the Hogs, but like I said, I will fly for somebody, somewhere, and at sometime. Even if that means choppers for the Army or AWACS or Cargo Planes for the Air National Guard or something.

I always have a backup plan too. I have a family with a military history. There are tons of other things I could do. If the military is out of the question, i shall be law enforcement.
