[QUOTE="Makobra, post: 16296120, member: 193575"] It takes me time to process stuff thoroughly. sometimes whats happening is I'm waiting for the dust to settle to see what is actually going to remain unchanged. if you got out of a professional military career in 13 and its now half a decade later but it just hit you that you long for that brotherhood i'd put money on you trying for those five years to make it work. now that you see how petty and stupid are outside of the rigorous structure of pro-military sector you're annoyed as all hell. because you want bob two cubicles down to want to die for you to save your life if push comes to shove. we all do. unfortunately that isn't realistic. it isn't even realistic in the military. if you had seen combat perhaps your perspective would be different in that you'd have seen people fail to live up to that standard instead of living with this idealized version of what could be in your head. what you want comes from a place that is genuine, you were created to long for community, that's how God made us, but the thing is, you can have that. marriage. kids. a gospel centered community of believers. these things will scratch that itch much more thoroughly than what your previous career did but the thing is, it'll cost you. everything. in the military it is expected that you may have to lay down your life for someone else but in civilian life to have what you want it is absolutely required that you DO give your life to that end. so the real question, in my mind, is: why are you wasting time on people who do not fulfill that desire?
