More from Max over at Fucking Inappropriate: Flowers for Algernon where he continues his musings on mental health and military service:

The military is a world unto itself. Like living in a bizarro mirror dimension where culture and reality are distorted into a crude reflection of what most people think is normal. That reality is skewed even farther for an infantryman. The highest good you can achieve is to die well. I don’t need to explain what the point of the job is. It is an obsession with death.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
