What will it take?

I was hoping for an uplifting post today, but I have to ask: What will it take?

How much sacrifice do I need to endure?

How many opportunities do I need to spurn to demonstrate my unwaivering dedication to the vanguard?

How many years do I have to wait until I can be free of this pain and doubt?

How many people do I have to convince that I'm serious about doing this?

"Oh, it's not safe."

"There are so many other people you can help, right?"

"Why don't you just go to law school?"

NO
NO
NO!

It's Afghanistan! I have to go to Afghanistan! Not Iraq. Not Sudan. NOT PERU. AFGHANISTAN.

What will it take to get me to Afghanistan? What?!?! Just tell me and I'll do it.
