The difference between a private industry and the military is you can quit a private industry when the BS gets too high.

You know, a lot of people don't know that when you desert the military, you may as well leave the country because your life in this one won't be the same. You won't be able to get a driver's license again. You won't be able to get a job without someone checking your social. There will be a federal warrant for your arrest until such a time you are caught. So many of your personal freedoms are stripped away.
