I am delighted to see that you keep a focus on what is truly important in times of unrest, Gideon.

I think it is a very difficult question to answer in a broader sense. It sounds like you are looking for meaning, and I, personally, do not believe you can find it in an army. It is something you must find for yourself. Perhaps it will be a place to step off and begin that discovery. I'm not sure. I think you know, as well as the rest of us, that it is doubtless that the people of this world, who brought us here, brought us here to use us.
I'm sorry I feel I can't help more. Searching for meaning is one of the most intimate acts we can take. [Ask him how he knows! These are definitely detached suggestions and are certainly not from a man who has been deeply questioning his own place in the world.] I asked a dear friend once what I should do, should I lose my place -- and she told me that we are meant to find a purpose. A better one.
However, that's not entirely helpful when one is seeking a place to start.
At any rate, I do hope you find it. On the other hand, considering recent developments, I may be having to hire a personal bodyguard on future excursions, now I've a bit of a target on my back. You know. If you're interested.
