Michael continued the walk through the sand, another crate in hand, as Isiah followed and guided him, presenting questions. "Well sir," he replied, "I actually joined the military myself. I didn't think of myself as a leader, so I thought it'd be better for me to not join the Officer Schools. As for your second question, I'm from Avea. It's a nice place with decent people, but some of them aren't very considerate of patriotism. Some prefer to hide behind their metaphorical walls and watch as the other races get slaughtered until the conscription came. Sure, a lot of the Disas are pretty nationalistic, but really, only a few actually join the military." Michael placed the crate of ammunition down by 'his' little pile.
