Got exams in two hours. I'm psyched! I really like this subject, and I can't wait to see what the exam brings me. The subject is 'Introduction to Ordinary Differential Equations'.
Thats because you are in Germany. Where western europe and america BEAT all nationalism, and military pride, ethics and teachings out of your society.
Most send their kids to military to teach them values, and how to be a better more organized person. Ready for the world etc etc.
And please calling them nazis(even if they like it) has a bad connotation to it
In the Netherlands there are very few people going to the military today. Thing is, you need to have a medium-high education to get in the military, and the pay ain't even that great for the lower positions. Usually you're much much better of just studying your ass off for a couple years and build up a good career.
A lot of the Dutch think we're already spending way too much on the military on top of that. Just recently we sold
every single one of our tanks. The 2010 House of Representatives (the most important governing body of the Netherlands) fell over the issue of whether the Dutch should retreat their troops or not because they weren't being useful and cost way too much money.
As I see it, a lot of the Dutch see the military not as a pride but as a burden, and I would imagine something similar being true in Germany as well.
Sorry but my brain refuses to work properly at 7 am.
Then don't go on head-fi at ungodly hours like those. Be like me and just get up at 9:30 am, and spend a good hour just on your morning routine. It is very relaxing.
