Me, I am buying all those young men a steak.   I would love to see the seals, while out hiking.  For 1 I know I am in probably  the safest  place on earth  and I full support those men that go thru hell so we can sleep in our warm beds

With the current purges underway, Covid scoffers, and "extremists", I don't really trust any one who would serve such a regime.
The same question Hienrich Muller faced, "Right or pension ?".

You can't just quit anytime you want to, not even if there's a regime change you're not happy with. When I was in basic training the company commander called me and one other guy into his office. Being paranoid and having been intimidated by drill sergeants since day one, I thought I was in serious trouble. I didn't know what the other guy did wrong but I must have screwed up somehow. It turns out that out of our entire company, they wanted the two of us to go to West Point and become officers, which required a 10-year commitment. No thank you! After a couple of weeks in the army or whatever it was at that time, I already knew that I just wanted to do my 4 years and get out. If I could have just walked away because I didn't want to "serve such a regime" as the peanut farmer-in-chief, I would have been home by the 3rd day.
