POV : You’re visiting Tirion’s palace with lady Celebrìan and there is a portrait of lady Galadriel as a very serious baby on the wall.

Honestly, spot on. Mostly.

Some things I wanna correct:

Your contract is 8 years. It can be 2 years active, the rest reserve. It could be 8 active. It could be 1. You're still property until year 8 is over. Means you only have freedom of religion too.

Basic does brainwash you - it's designed to make you react unconsciously so that even in a blind panic you still take cover and engage the target. And that means you'll hear orders and respond accordingly, yeah. Cold War really made that cult mentality stick.

Obama got rid of recruiting bonuses, don't know if Trump brought them back. Given how shit retention rates are, probably.

Some jobs actually can't deploy! But unless you're a veterinarian, yeah you're at risk.

Reasons I would encourage someone to enlist:

The only other option is homelessness.

You know what I’d really like? A cheeseburger. — Yeah, we can do a cheeseburger. — A real cheeseburger. — I’ll make you a very good, very traditional cheeseburger. — I don’t think you can. — I’ll make you feel as if you’re eating the first cheeseburger you ever ate. The cheap one your parents could barely afford.
