Some recruiter called my phone and they were like "you should join the military because there are all these benefits (actually that's a lie, they're phasing those out to a large extent, as I've heard later from people who have joined up)."
Me: "I don't really believe in fighting."
Him: "You don't believe people should fight for our country's freedom? (strawman, taking my words out of context) 'Freedom isn't free', there's responsibility. Blah blah about just causes." (Basically, alot of stock arguments)
Me: "That's not really what I said. Also, freedom that comes at a cost isn't really freedom. Also, I think most of these "just causes" are excuses... Also, you're an idiot."
Or something like that.
