politicophile - (and anyone else of that age) when I was in your position, almost exactly, I made the same choice (hell I even went to one of the young Republican meetings and had the same feeling of assholes, though it was perhaps better than the 'vibe' I got at a young democrats meeting). I have to say it is perhaps the only real regret I have when I look at my life’s accomplishments. It was an easy choice for me, Clinton was president at the time and the military was demoralized, things were bad and it looked like it was getting worse, which it did being prior to the disgrace in Somalia. I had the worried parents, I had the horny girlfriend, I had a president who I wouldn't trust with my life or my girlfriend and I didn't join.

Whats worse is I still took 2.5 years of extra (and not necessary) study, so I would have had the time. End result is, while I am in the top of my field, and a success by any measure, I still feel I let myself down. If you want to go into politics, a military background can only help you.
