Definitely. I was a kid then though. When I see pics of myself then I always think what a stupid and naive asshole I used to be. I believed in what we were doing. Now I just feel used.

Awww shit yeah, Now you're talking.

So I figure the safest place to be in the even of a zombie outbreak is a nearby outlying island. This way, you have the natural defense of the sea around you and with minimal defenses, can hold an area. Not like a zombie swarm is gonna wander into the ocean and then also just happen to drift to your island. So I figure somewhere along the coast by Camp Pendleton would be great. They have small islands down there and the proximity to the Marine Base would make it great for day time raids for supplies. The mountains on base would make a great natural hunting ground because zombies don't like going uphill. You could get all the stuff you need to make San Clemente Island a fortress. Tons of Barbed and Concertina wire. Weapons and Ammo. It would be a dream. You could even get the MRE stockpiles. If the Zombie come, head to my island. I will take all refugees but you must swear allegiance to me and get WHATABOUTTUNA tattooed on your back. Tramp Stamp style.

unfortunately, you often have to hit a wall at 60 to realize the truth of it.

Violence is so ingrained in their culture that a gun battle on the street invokes curiosity more than fear. No one runs from explosions. They let their kids play in the middle of armed troops in a fight. it's insane.

I interacted with Iraqi's every day of every deployment. There was always an IP (iraqi Police) training or humanitarian mission. At the time I saw them as less human than us. Like because they lived in the dirt they were more like dogs. I saw them as a dumb culture. Now I just feel bad. You are a product of your environment and I just got lucky in being born in a rich powerful country
