My War [antikvár]

Help WantedKids from the suburbs don't really join the military. At least not where I'm from. After high school you do one of two things, you either get your education on at some big-name university or college, or you live at your parents' and smoke pot and work a shit job, like telemarketing. Maybe even pretend to go to college by taking one or two remedial classes at the JC, just to get Mom and Pops off your back while you figure out exactly what you want to do with yourself.The only guys I knew who joined the armed forces were guys who came from families who had fathers who served in the military at some point in their lives. When you grow up with a parent who was in the military, you don't really look down on the military, you just look at it as an acceptable path to take, an option. The only guys I knew from high school who joined the military didn't join up right after the graduation ceremony, either, they joined several years after, once they dropped out of school and/or realized living at their parents' house kinda sucked.There's this bar over by my parents' house in the Bay Area that I fucking hate going to, just because it's like a bad high school reunion every time I walk into it. You can't even enjoy a drink without bumping into somebody you went to high9
