To really be one of the few that can make a difference. Considering that I have never been deployed, and that I was in the communications, so I was a huge POG (not infantry), I still can say that I have made a small difference.

Honestly its because I wanted to be the best me that I could be, and in many ways the Marines has helped me to do that. The only downside was that when I went to Boot Camp and came back to LG, I was a lot less logical than I was before I left. I went from discussing quanta theory and space travel in depth and in lengthy ways to re-reading those threads and being lost in translation. Its hard to go from thinking about everything for years on end, and then I didn't have to think about anything for 3 months, it takes a toll on your reasoning capabilities. But luckily, I have been able to remain loyal to LG for more than 4 years, and hopefully one day I can join the ranks of our legendary admins.

And politically speaking my reasoning is this: don't lie blatantly to us about your stances. At least be honest and I will have more trust for you than normal. Lie or change your views just for the polls to make you look better, and you are a spineless piece of garbage and I will wish ill on your campaign and vote for the other guy. Lets face it, if I ran for president, I would never win because people wouldn't like my views, and I won't change them. But maybe one day you will see a Souleater for president commercial on TV.
Mentally?
I heard stories of people in the army/marines/navy what ever turned crazy because they killed people and they cant help them selves.
