Even though it technically is a civilian intelligence agency, I always hesitate to refer to the CIA as a civilian agency.

It needs to be abolished. If I actually cared about patriotism, I'd question the patriotism of those who think it's necessary to "protect this country": aside from the fact that it makes matters worse, that it makes this country less safe and more vulnerable, you obviously have a low opinion of your country if you think it's so weak that it can't survive and recover from taking one on the chin without stooping to the depraved and always-unjustifiable level of violence itself.

Protecting my country? Bitch please I'm signing up for the Dental.
And I'm hardly 'patriotic'.

I hope wherever you live gets attacked by militants and i hope some of your countrymen save your ass, so you can kiss their feet for being such a naive idiot.

Yes it is, why'd you feel the need to explain that to me?
I'm not sure if you were being sarcastic, but if your only reason to join is for incentives then you shouldn't join.
I'm a militarist and plan on joining myself early next year at latest, and I don't want someone half assing their duties.

I wouldn't be 'half-assing' anything. Perhaps you shouldn't presume such things.

I base it on the premise that someone joining specifically for perks and not a sense of patriotism or personal duty would not be as motivated or dedicated to their tasks in the military, I guess there's no wisdom in that presumption?
