Military service should be a negative thing for candidates.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

So do you hate all military?  Just the US?  I bet you really hate the true mercenaries that are the Defense Contractors.

I must say, I don't think I've been called a mercenary in a long time.  However, since you brought it up, here's a picture of me going to work the other day.  You can tell it was a Friday since I didn't shave and I left my tie at home. 

Ah, now we know why all the babes in the bunker you work in say hi to you during your lunch hour.  You old studly merc you.
