Recon_Guardsman
I too was in a similar situation with a similarly ignorant world issues class. I joined the reserves when I was 16 and therefore to them was a child soldier. I made it perfectly clear to them that I could not be sent overseas in my current status and that I made the choice to join, unlike those kids in africa who are forced into guerilla wars and prostitution. However, the teacher being so left wing, wouldn't hear it. So I told him where he could stick it or something to that effect. In any event I acheived a higher than 90 in that class and mawked the idiot kids who thought they would get good marks if they agreed with the teacher all the time.
In any case yes there are some pretty ignorant people out there, civies and soldiers alike. Best thing is to not give them a second thought and move on to something worthwhile.
Have a better one.
Oh and seeing as you use the handle guardsman, are you part of the Grens, the Horse or my favourite (and current unit) the Foot Guards?
