          You can’t just up and leave the military any time you’d like. You have to have a significant mental breakdown and end up in a psych ward to get out easily.

              I don’t think you realize what I’m saying. You have to literally attempt suicide in order to get out of the military without waiting out your contract or removing yourself from society.

              Like, they need to be able to visibly see that you have attempted to kill yourself, and even then you have to convince them that it was real.

              Would you cut open your arm right now to prove a point?

                  I have heard of resistance. I resisted.

                  I was in the military, I refused to go to my deployment. They confined me to my ship until I attempted suicide.

                  You’re an asshole, and you don’t know as much as you think
