IIRC - "If I Remember Correctly"...
According to Starguide, Jack spent 4 months in an Iraqi prison...
There's still only so much a human can take...
...Oh, and for those aspiring military personnel:
It's not for everyone.
Depending on the job you end up doing and what unit you end up in, it can range from a "civilian job" you don't have to decide what you wear to work for al the way down (up?) to a ritualistic fight for survival...
...Though usually, it seems to be somewhere in between.
A lot of military service, in my experience, is sort of a meritocracy...
...you get out of it what you put into it.
A lot of effort and some talent tinged with luck and it's great.
You don't like what you're doing...
...and it's a living hell for some.
And it's never the same for any two people... even assigned to the same unit, job, and there at the same time.
