On the surface it would seem obviously quizzical that I would join the military considering my stance on authority, but I think it helps to remember that I joined when I was 17. Because of the way I was brought up, being an independent, self-sufficient, sovereign person was a very frightening prospect for me. I wasn't prepared for it, so I sought out familiar environs.
