ROTC personal statement , please review?

Yep, that'll do.

Now what size coffin do you want to order? If you start paying for it now it will be cheap when they bring your mangled body back from whatever colonial war the military industrial complex want you to sacrifice your life over.

Sometimes there are other ways to resolve disputes than by killing people., indeed if you really have studied history properly you'll know that war often begets war just as every action has a reaction. Time to win hearts and minds rather than kill people. I grant you soft power isn't nearly as exciting as driving around with other gung-ho murderous Yanks and killing people, but then it isn't anywhere near as profitable either for the likes of Halliburton. So guess why they prefer murder and killing?

Still if you really believe the crap you have written in this statement then you'll soon wise up.

In reality you join the armed forces to protect your nation and its allies when necessary. Go to Afghanistan if you like and the only thing you'll be protecting is the oil pipeline that is being built. When you are there you'll wonder why the heroin export trade is so buoyant when there are tens of thousands of NATO soldiers all over the place. Then it'll be explained to you that the price for buying the loyalty of dozens of warlords is to allow them this profitable little trade, now if only you'd look away while these over-laden trucks go through the border....

By then you won't be quite as wet behind the ears that is if you are still alive...

Still there's always an IED with your name on it - let's hope you don't get too maimed...I'd hate to see your mother weeping over your coffin.....
