So, I was watching MMA on TV last night with my son and throughout the program the Navy had TV recruitment commercials calling the US Navy a "Global Force for Good." Since I do not watch TV on a regular basis I do not know how long the Navy has been billing itself as such but I was completely disgusted. The commercials were surreal. I felt like I was watching the movie Starship Troopers. You know, the movie about war with bugs where TV was filled with military propaganda about how great and glorious the military was.

I found it truly disturbing. What's even more disturbing is the thought of how many young people will fall for the bullshit and join up thinking they are actually doing good instead of being fodder for the Global Force for the murder of innocent women and children still living in 12th century mud huts.

Muscle bound hero-wannabes out to prove how they're all better than the next guy, largely. I know several that are MMAs around my area, at least four, and all four fit that description.

I'm sure that fits some, but definitely not all MMA fighters. My son is an MMA fighter and he doesn't fit that description. He's shy and quiet and if he keeps his grades up will be in the running for valedictorian of his high school class. He has been wrestling and training in the martial arts since he was 6 years old. He has a black belt in something called Rosenbach Warrior Training Branches, a blue belt in Brazilian Jujitsu and has been training in Muay Thai kickboxing for about three years now. MMA has allowed him to actually use the skills he's learned in a (somewhat) realistic environment. There are plenty of people participating in MMA who do not fit that description.
