I did a tour as a conscript. I hated “losing” over a year of my life when I was drafted.
Looking back, I actually had fun, learned a lot about society, as we were from all walks of life and I came from a priviledged environment. Made great friends.
Got to play with a bunch of things that go bang and brrrrrr. (The MG is awesome!).
Learned to kill in a bunch of ways, being in a Scout unit. Thankfully I never deployed, so it all stayed theory.
Learned a lot about patience, discipline, survival within a dystopian bureaucracy, repressing the urge to frag, teamwork, esprit de corps, and much more.
I really think that despite all the shit that being in the military entails, it was definitely a net positive for me, especially because I never deployed.
Good for you that you had a great time wasting a year (and our tax money) in the military. If you liked it this much, go back! Maybe that way we won’t have to send tens of thousands of our children to the military, especially against their will, when there are so many people out there that find the military so cool and entertaining.

Did you not read that he was drafted lmao
Yes, I did. And I believe he should go back instead of expecting others to be forced into following his footsteps.
