Show Brent Huff tob r 2 doing, we've given them a cause, a place to go, to take on the que t and they ve c me pretty good at it. The truth is our military has kind of done the opposite. I think a I t f the good guys that were good have gotten out. I think we've kind of flip-flopped in that fashion. JCW: How do you reconcile the two? How do you reconcile fighting in a war, but at the same time not really sure this is what we should be doing? BH: I'm sure that we're fighting in the war and that the military's doing it. I feel like, good people being in the military is important, people that make good decisions. I also just feel like it's a personal choice, to take kind of an individualistic view towards things. I don't have a ton of confidence anyway in the government or Utopian solutions. I live, number one, I want to make my choices and live my life in whatever is the most authentic way to live my life. That's a big part of it. It's a justification. It's kind of a cover-all. It doesn't always resolve all the problems, but basically that's kind of how I see it is, one, that's just the demographic that I'm in, whether or not it's ultimately where I would want to be, it's who I am. The military is a demographic just as much as, just like African Americans or it's like you're there. You don't get to just change it; you don't get to just. .. like I grew up here, I grew up Mormon and I'm not religious anymore, but I'm always going to be a blonde haired, blue eyed boy from Utah, which means I'm kind of polite and I'm good on the phone (laughs). I can't change that. That's the demographic that I am. All I can do is do what I can with that. Yeah, I chose to be in the military, but at this point it's the defining years of your life and it's who I am, it's not going to change. It's something that I'm good at, enjoy, so I continue to, at least off and on, do stuff with the military. 49 |
