Yup.  Been playing 19 years now, semi pro in the late 90's but now I just play recreationally.

I prefer to hunt people.  I wish it were legal to hunt them like in "The Running Game", but since it isn't, I take out my hatred of other humans stupidity by playing paintball.  Oddly, I actually don't like actual firearms in the least.  Used an M-16 throughout the army, grew up around them, etc., but have not the least interest in them.  Totally support the right to own them, mind you...just don't like them myself.

OH!!  HAHA...ummm...WOW, that was a long time ago.  Yes, US Army.  I'm fairly certain 3rd of the 9th Field Artillery out of Ft. Sill, OK.  If I had it all to do over again, I would never have went in.  My personality is just not suited to a regimented lifestyle.  I did a LOT of push ups.  From boot camp until I got out, I never stopped doing push ups and KP duty.  I simply had issues with shutting up, and obeying orders without question.

Still even in my current job I have to constantly remind myself that logic and thinking for oneself is frowned upon, and gets you nothing but in trouble.
