Yeah, very quickly, I think the case which we should make every chance we get is that my life was changed by military service and exposing me to a bunch of people I wouldn't have otherwise met, forcing me to work together with them towards a common mission and showing me that like the greatest sort of reward and joy in life is accomplishing something for a cause greater
