work for the community.

Shooting at people and dropping bombs it's not work. The community is not the government.

Is that all you think military service teaches you?

The community is not the government.

I guess we could discuss the validity of each country's implementation of democracy , but, at least in theory, the power to govern derives from a mandate from the community. So no, the community is by extension the government.

No i'm sure they teach you how to play the guitar and draw paintings, not using guns designed and built to kill people.
