It is a sad truth. I regret my seven years in the Navy. It was awesome traveling the world on the taxpayers dime and feeling special whenever I strolled around town but I now know how false my perception of myself was.
Years and years of TV, Movies, School and family Patriotism gave me a false sense of American elitism. Thank goodness I moved abroad and woke up.
This gif sums up how stupid I used to look.
