Military service should be a negative thing for candidates.

[Albus Dumbledore]

A real logical system would be treating military service in their background as a negative for candidates. Let's face it they couldn't get into college/find a job so they went into the military. Dropping out of society for several years to be a hired gun for the federales? Not exactly the mark of a stable personality IMO.

Feeling the need to fight and potentially die for the sake of a piece of cloth(the flag) doesn't strike me as the behavior of a mentally healthy person.

[Albus Dumbledore]

I don't 'get' the patriotic. Sure, living in America is nice by global standards but alot of other places have better quality of life(australia, canada, the EU core states, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan).

[Albus Dumbledore]

I was saying I don't get people who are patriotic since the US is IMO in the lower half of the first world in terms of quality of life.

[Albus Dumbledore]

Well the high inequality, the culture, cuisine etc are factors making me not that fond of the US. Then again, in the defense of the US the great lakes/upper midwest is one of the worse parts of it. If I lived in SoCal or the Boswash metro I'd have better feelings.

What? It's economically stagnant here, cold and too populist-leaning for my tastes.
