WTF does joining the armed services have to do with ones manhood? Why are you less of a "man" if you don't want potential missing limbs and/or mental illness for the rest of your life?
You seem narcissistic: "Look at me! My daughter is in the military!".
I pity you as you are willing to let your daughter potentially harm herself and others (mental illness, missing limbs etc).
Using the military service as a tool to avoid poverty is one thing, but to prove ones manhood or anything else? Thats fubar.

That "buddy" Matt Damon talks about is your daughter, but hey at least she is more of a "man" than most men.
You live in Texas, no wonder you think armed service = manhood. Heck I'd go out on a limb to say you vote for the republicans.
I'm curious why you think the way you think, its just so silly.
