I expected to live a life in the military. So, yeah.

I originally intended to make a living by fighting wars.

 

Turns out, I'm too much of a p*ssy to do that.

 

And the "remains of dead G.I.'s" thing is a quote from Saving Private Ryan, too.

Good movie, that. Not afraid to show how FUBAR war is.

It's still Hollywood, though, so not entirely accurate, but I like to think it's one of the more accurate ones.

 

Accurate for its time period.  There is no 'one' experience for war or combat, so nothing is ever accurate for everyone anyways,

 

But a lot of WWII vets felt that the setting, the visuals, a lot of the movie in general, 'felt' very real, very accurate.

Pretty sure you can still do it. If you're under 35ish, in general good condition. just enlist and pick a job away from the front lines.

Nope. Couldn't. Not easily.

Heck, I like to think I could easily live in the early 1900's, without all the modern tech. It'd be pretty hard now that I have all the tech, but...

Well, let's just say I'd do the "revert to birth" thing in that case only if necessary.

 

I reckon my life would be easier without tech.

[lady_v23]

Considering how some scenes in the movie look, that's sort of sad...

But the masses need to know what war is like.

Don't meet all the conditions.

And an angry little mofo like me?

That's frontline stuff.

One of the ideas of that was to not do any office work.

I could live without a lot of things, but Kitchen gadgets and tools.  Granted, its not all electronics, but still many things are newer.  Food and food preparation are sooo much easier today than a few hundred years ago

Easier, or simpler?

 

I think the latter, for me personally.

I would probably end up glad to be able to write and read. Although, early 1900's...

I'd probably know calculus well enough to be a storekeeper or something, in addition to being able to read and write well.

what do u mean ?

I respectfully disagree.  No, the masses don't need to know what war is like.  Part of the whole idea of defending them is that they don't have to know what war is like.  And on the flips side they haven't...earned...the right to say they know whats like either, as odd as that may sound.

 

They should understand some things of course, how bad it can be, the cost of it, they should understand the principle of these things.  But to know what it feels like, to know what war is like as if they experienced it.  

 

No, I think war movies were perfectly fine when they were stories, not documentaries.  

[Serza]

what do u mean ?

 

That's pretty short-ish.

 

But don't worry, I thought I was dragging it out (I thought) and I got Skyhold at the 18 hour mark in my first playthrough. Granted, I did finish an f-load of stuff post-story completion, and that's what got me to some 120-ish (on completionist, sans mosaic collections)

[lady_v23]

what do u mean ?

You reached lvl 20 so fast!

[Dgyre]

what do u mean ?

 

Well I don't know about Lady_v, but level 20 at 45hrs is WAY higher in level than I was at 45 in any of my playthroughs so far. so yeah, wow!

[Mattebubben]

Well, maybe "need to know" was a strong choice of words.

 

They should definitely know what sort of sacrifices the men and women serving make.

 

There's this thing that comes to mind... "The Citizens of the US can sleep peacefully at night because there are men and women ready to do violence on their behalf" - or something such. While this particular quote refers to the USA, you can swap that for nearly any country in the world.

The reason I'm saying it here is, I agree with it.

I do not know what war is like (I know enough to know it's nothing nice, but that is about the extent of the stuff I think I REALLY know) and I'm glad for that. Much easier to live without certain doom looming overhead every few days in the form of bomber formations.

Did you enlist?

I have personal experience with the subject.

Really, do you mean really mean it?

Of course I do.

An elf who believes in the Old gods ain't compatible with Sera even if you're patient with her about her warped views on them, it's not worth it, you will have to sacrifice a part of your identity to continue the romance and that's just wrong.

 

Dismissing Sera's beliefs as "warped" doesn't show any compassion for her, either. But at least she doesn't say belief in the Old gods is warped, just that if it's true that means that the only religion that ever has accepted or can accept her is false. And she sees asking her to accept a religion that refuses to accept her as asking her to sacrifice a part of her identity to continue the romance and that is every bit as wrong.

[Duelist]

Really, do you mean really mean it?

Of course. And if you get yourself banned...

[Basement Cat]

Of course. And if you get yourself banned...

That is either heartwarming or scary...

[Duelist]

That is either heartwarming or scary...

It's Liam Neeson, so a little of both.

[Mattebubben]

tell me your secret, senpai!
