Just for my own assurance - did you actually complete Intelligence 101? When you say ‘Army’ do you mean the ones with uniforms and guns or were you in the Kiss Army [not that there’s anything wrong with that]? Are you using ‘former’ in the sense of having been something and are now not, or in a special tense, known only to you, to mean never quite got started?
I only ask because Sydney Powell clearly didn’t and look where she’s ended up - being considered for a job in the dying days of Trump’s presidency. I’d hate to have that happen to me.
