The term service as it is used by military people has tones of duty and honor when they use it. That is fucking bullshit. That duty is self-imposed, and does not exist outside of a monetary contract between you and the federal government. That honor is something you convince yourself of (or allow your recruiter/drill instructor to convince you of) in spite of the obviousness of the truth.
You're trying to use the service-industry style of the term to deflect that, even though you know damn well that particular rhetoric is thick.
