Woah man you're smart. Though if I actually applied myself I'd do a lot better....
I didn't get a date until last year, around may. I don't remember the exact date, but Kailin does. She remembers everything like that....

Garret, you sure seem to have something against joining the military. Everybody's entitled to their opinion, but I personally think you should have a little more respect for the people who risk more than their lives for your well being. Not to offend you or start an argument or anything like that. I just happen to have a lot of respect for the men and women in the Armed Forces and I felt I had to say something.
And no, I have yet to play Giants: Citizen Kabuto.

I have respect for those in the armed forces as well, but I just feel as if, of all things ou can choose to do, that joining the military is one of those that will be the least beneficial for you or your country. I.E., the U.S. has one of, if not the, largest amount of soldiers at it's disposal out of any country in the entire world. But, we have an economy that is completely FUBAR. That's what I'm saying.
I haven't even heard of Giants: Citizen Kabuto.

Oh ok. No prob then. I hope I didn't sound too mean or anything.
By the way, did you know that when we attacked Iraq, it had one of the largest standing military in the world? They significantly outnumbered us. Marine tank squadrons of 20 or 30 had to routinely face off against 100 or more enemy tanks. We certainly have one of if not the most powerful military in the world, but not in terms of pure manpower. When we win, it's usually by professionalism, efficiency, technology, and discipline. Just like the ancient Roman empire.
But yeah, our economy is certainly not in a good situation. We do need more genuine, born-and-raised American students in science and engineering majors. Not that I have anything against foreigners or anything, there's just a really big lack of true Americans in these fields. I guess all the pure Americans like to go for Business degrees or something.

Which ones? HALO or Thermopolae?
But that is true, we have the best military program in the world. And that's just what we know about.

Well, more specifically the THermopylian Spartans b/c they actually existed, but the Halo SPARTANS were awesome too.

The Spartans from Greece had nothing on the Romans. The Spartans were all insane and bloodthirsty men wanting only to kill and be killed. They were pretty fierce warriors, though.
The Samurai and the Knight were some of the finest warriors in the ancient world.

I happen to like insane and bloodthirsty guys. Besides that, they had their own movie about their kicking butt.

300 was a disgrace to the actual story. All the random crap in it just ruined it for me.

Well, the movie wasn't bad, but knowing the 'true' account of the Spartan's last stand made it so I didn't hold it as high as some people. And I like Arby's, so...
