We have many soldiers and many lawyers on Languish. But the question remains: which is larger - The Languish Soldiers Platoon, or the Languish Advocates Cabal?   

For "soldiers" include airmen, marines and sailors, those in the reserves and those who have been soldiers, etc. but who have since retired or moved on to other jobs; for "lawyers" count law students, those who got law degrees but who have not passed the bar (hi, Ide!), and those who got law degrees but have moved on to other occupations.

I did my military service, and I got trained at college for public administration, which is about 75% law. It's been 17 and 14 years respectively since those eras of my life, though. :P

I never served in the armed forces, but I am an actuary.

I'll let it slide for this thread/poll. But you really should have used the term military service member instead of soldier. :contract:

I was a soldier once. It seems a thousand centuries ago.

But he's including naval service members as well.  Military means army + air force.  Armed Forces is all four services.

What if you're neither? Can we assemble a mercenary force and sell ourselves to the highest bidder?

Since none of the options fit me, I gave my vote to Daniel Kaffee.  :P
