Hey, I wanted to get some good opinions, and first hand knowledge.
I have seen things where many Soldiers and members of the Armed forces look down on regular civilians. Some are viewed as lazy slobs.
I don't mean to start anything bad, but this worries me greatly. I tried to get into ROTC, and medical reasons stopped it. I have a tremendous respect for everybody in the Armed forces.
However, most of my friends have successfully gotten into the military, and I feel left out. It depresses me greatly that I cannot be a part.
I didn't want to stay a civilian, but I have to.
Is there any respect in the civilian world, or is my failure to get into the military going to haunt me forever?
Views are much appreciated.
