As a young person, I feel I accurately represent at least a small portion of my demographic and the attitude today. If I found out I was going to war as a member of the military on the orders of the government, I would say !@#$ my duty, !@#$ my responsibility, !@#$ my commitments, and !@#$ my country. I'm out to save my own ass. Everyone else and their opinions be damned, I'm going to live.
