I don't think you would be mentally fit for the military, especially something like the PJ's. I'm not saying you are a nut or something. I'm just saying if you are going to be in the military something like that can't matter to you.
You get orders, and you act. You don't question things. UPDATE: Well you join, question stuff because of your human nature, and see what happens.
You will be on restriction, or in the brig so fast you won't know what happened. You are not of a pay grade to make critical decisions. Like I said, the military isn't for you.
Maybe look into the peace corp. That is a nobel cause. Here is an example.
In boot camp I was painting flower bed rocks 1 by 1 white. (they were already white), and the instruction was to put the wet paint down side into the dirt. They want you to think you miss heard the instruction and put the painted side up.
Then you get screamed at for NOT following instructions. You are told that you are not paid to think.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
