I did live kind of like that off and on for a year in my first Afghanistan deployment. You are correct that most people have absolutely no idea what it’s like to live like that, but once you do you realize it’s both restrictive and liberating. Being outside all the time makes it hard to be inside in a way that’s hard to explain.

I said that even people who complain that the government is making it too attractive don't follow through to do it by choice, because they're wrong and they don't believe their own arguments.
