In the Army Now - The joy of the Armed ForcesI've never been a soldier. I was an air cadet once, but that mostly involved sitting in a mouldy hut learning about aeroplane engines with the hint that one day we might go flying.
Yet, anyone who has spent time defending their nation, or at least drinking bromide-laced-tea for their nation, must have stories to tell. Tell them now.

My Family and the Army.Great-uncle - Fought in ww2. but i dont know any stories. he died or something. but not in the war.
Stepdad - Is lebanese, fought in the Lebanese civil war in the 80s. Claims he was on the 'rebel' side and was some sort of commander or something, running around in the wilderness shooting various civil war related things. Also claims he was f00ked alot and once bought me some 'samples' once back from beirut of the happy pills he took *slurp*. Also he was shot in the leg. actually he was shot in the leg. i saw. he has a big frankenstein stiches on the front of his leg and the back is just this huge obliteration. He said he stitched it up himself while on above happy drugs. Nice one!
My brother - In an attempt to have some sort of aim and objective in his life he promptly gave up smoking weed and announced he was going to try for the marines. I objected loudly and clearly as i am of the 'no war' mindset. A month later he was back smoking more than before and his marines career was dashed before he had even begun! now he works in subway! at least he wont get killed! wooppee!and he gives me loads of subway vouchers too! :D
