Most of the people I know who are in the military joined before 9/11 so the military would pay for their college tuition. They didn't expect to go to war, although it was a risk they took. I don't think it was idiotic for them to join, nor do I think they were bloodthirsty. I probably would have joined the military too, if I hadn't had other career options available.

And I feel smugly superior to you because I believe that my preferences for a wider variety of food reflects a more cosmopolitan attitude, which I view as having a more "sophisticated" quality.

Maybe GP is a supertaster. I know a couple of people who are supertasters. They stick to steak and potatoes, hamburgers with only ketchup, etc. One food at a time. Most vegetables and any foods with more than one or two ingredients make them gag. It's not as though they decided they wanted to only eat a few bland foods for the rest of their life; their taste buds are just really sensitive. The supertasters I know are jealous of people who can eat vegetables.
