sure , there 's too much paperwork and boredom , and everyone smokes and ca n't complete a sentence without cursing and has boxes of dirty magazines under his bed , and you have to answer to rotc guys fresh out of college who think grunts like me have the iqs of neanderthals ; but you 're forced to learn the most important lesson in life , and that 's the fact that you'have to live up to your responsibilities , and you 'd better do it right .
