I didn't take any slam to anything to be honest. I'm just debating a little. My point with the xbox thing is, it could have been about anything else. Watching movies, going to the beach, watching the NFL on Sundays with a pizza and wings, or just parlaying around the house, or whatever else one does with their personal time. If you got time for all of that, and surfing on your smartphone or laptop at starbucks, then, how dare you not have the time to volunteer? That's the way it sounded to me. It reminds me, for comparison of guys at a bar stating about how little he puts in his savings plan or savings account, and then someone replies, "Well, if you cut down on your beer drinking for two weekends out of the year, you can save blah blah and blah blah cents and make your 401k grow to a whole 1000 by the time you retire. Or if you put a penny a day in your piggy bank for the rest of your life, you will have this and this and this....you get my drift?
PUBLIUS, join the Armed Forces. Become an officer. Be all you can be. Put that knowlege to use. The military can use you. You'll really be doing a service to this country and gaining real experience, plus GET PAID while doing this and GAINING plenty of job experience. What is total obligation of 8 years military service out of your life. You may even like it and stay in for a retirement after 20.
