The words people use and how those words are used says a lot about how someone thinks. In many cases, it's almost as good as an X-ray into their mind.
Take, for example, the word "serve" and its past tense, "served".
If someone says "I served" where does your mind go? You probably assume they mean they were in the US military, and at this point in history on this spot on this planet your assumption is probably correct.
But why? Common usage.
To "serve" means you have provided a service of some sort to someone.
Everyone serves someone just about all the time.
The corner drug dealer serves. The cashier serves. The prostitute and the waiter and the car wash attendant serve. The writer serves, the scientist serves, and the medical provider serves. They serve by mutual consent and voluntary choice.
There are also those who provide unethical service. The mafia hitman and the legislation enforcement scum, for example. Unethical service means that someone is forced to either tolerate an unwanted "service" or to pay for it whether they want it or not. Unethical service is based in some way on archation.
To basically reserve the word "serve" for those who foolishly joined forces with the military of any government is to perpetuate a lie. Yes, they serve, but they serve anti-society and the anti-individual forces of the State. They serve liberty's enemy. That's not a good thing to do.
How can I pretend they are serving me in any way when I don't want them to do what they are doing and I don't want to pay them to do it? They aren't even on my side.
The same goes for other government employees, who also sometimes try to use the word "service" to refer to their own parasitism.
It's a lie to pretend that being a legislator, or government president, or government judge is a beneficial service. Those are parasitic positions, serving the political government at the expense of society. To be proud of such service, or to call it out for special honor, is to show just how deep the statism virus has infected the mind.

The indoctrination is strong.
When you feel it is patriotic and being of service, to go kill people so that psychopaths can get their jollies is just....
Many men want to protect.
And that is encouraged in the armed forces.
And they are indoctrinated to believe they are protecting their country.
It is so hard to accept that all wars are banksters wars.
And we are only "protecting" the banksters.
And they are making my loved-ones objectively less safe by going around the globe making enemies who want to kill Americans, mistaking them for the US feral government.
Mr. Chambers, don't get on that ship! The rest of the book ... To Serve Man, it's... it's a cookbook!
One of the best episodes.
My favorite from the 1959 series was "The Obsolete Man". I think The Twilight Zone did the misunderstanding alien double meaning better in their 1985 series episode " A Small Talent for War".
I remember that episode! But I watched it again anyway. Thanks!
