Why you want to join: Because I want to do more on NS, and Military involvement in other countries is both prohibative (Due to the fact that theres few good tech matchups that I can fairly join) and lacking in cultural or social scope, which a country's media can provide insight into in a far more meaningful manner than bombing the ever-loving hell out of some randoms country (fun though that may be).
