Hopefully the bitch is cleaning toilets today.

I think she needs to look up the definition of "conscientious". I don't think it means what she thinks it does.

I kind of feel sorry for the lady. I think that was too harsh what they did to her. She deserved a punishment but it shouldn't be that harsh in my eyes.

Anyway, do you think it's OK for a foreigner to serve in another country's army? I'm starting to have my doubts against joining the Australian Army. It's just too jingoistic and pretentious in my opinion. Do you think it would be worthwhile if I join the British or US Army (as a medic) or US Navy (as a corpsman)? If I stay in Australia I would need to be an officer and if I go overseas I would need to go enlisted.

Do officer applicants need to have previous leadership experience at school or in the community? Unfortunately, I have never had the opportunity to lead before and thus have nothing on paper however I want to lead and I have a very strong desire to do so. Certain people in my grade and other grades in my school have also said I would make a good and caring leader but I guess that means nothing if I have never had the opportunity to do so.

Thanks and sorry for the confusing structure of this message. I have exams tomorrow!
