The thing that really ticks me off, is people who join, who at their very core, whether they can admit it or not, are there for themselves, not for their brothers and sisters, and not for their country. Of course you always need to look out for yourself, you gain much from the training and all that jazz, but I don't know about anyone else, but I am joining the CF to get away from all this 'me me me' B....S.... that has plunged our world into the state it is in now. I am not saying that you have to put your life on the line for something you don't believe in, it's all our individual freedom, but I am so sick of this self-serving attitude that seems to be plaguing EVERYTHING in EVERY aspect of life. If you sign on, and fulfill your contract, and decide to discharge, that's completely fine. But what gets me is the fact that you wear the uniform, you bear your country's flag, and you represent the core of your country's beliefs, and if you are wearing that uniform under false pretenses, well... Whether you fulfill the contract or not. It's just a piece of paper, a political (I don't mean politics of government) agreement. If you aren't there for the right reasons, contract or not, you should not be in the forces. Maybe I am blinded by my own sense of selflessness, my attitude towards commitment, but it's my .02, for whatever it is worth. To me, the forces are a way of life, job, career, and money play only an indirect role. The man/woman beside me is what really matters.
