script:

Hey there sir, would you ever consider joining the US military?
No.
Why not ?
I'm not kind of that. I’m probably dropped out before like a basic training even stop me...
It could be a disaster. Yeah, bad idea for me. I’m not in the physical shape necessarily. I can never dream of killing somebody.
Serving the country is important and like everyone needs to do their share.
Well, I'm kind of against the war.
Kind of?
Very against the war. So I would not want to be in military now.
Would you ever consider joining the US military?
Yes, I would. I, in fact I did it once upon a time.
OK. And you are dropped out or?
Well, I didn't join. I just talked to a recruiter.
You just thought about it. Got it.
Yeah.
I actually had it in the past, for various reasons I didn't.
Would you ever consider joining the US military?
No.
I wouldn't but I think it's a fine occupation to have. I think that it's really important for all and cross-sections of our society to be involved in this endeavor.
I would not be worse like cut out for a basic training. I thought that maybe if I could go straight to the officer call, and not have to take orders.
Probably not.
Why not?
I really have no desire to and I 'm not a big fan of violence.
Absolutely.
Yeah? Why is that?
Because I'll protect our country.
Probably, I'm really nervous, but yeah, definitely.
As a woman and as a woman of color, I think that I'll be subject to a lot of racism and prejudice.
I mean that at some points of life. You know it's the right thing to just go out and support your country, all of a sudden, whatever we need to do. It's an honorable thing to be a member of military.
My parents would never ever let me do that even if I wanted to. I don't think..
Why wouldn't they let you yet?
I don't know. They are just really proud of my education. And I guess they see, you know, the military is an option for people who haven't succeeded in that fields.

From Yale university, home of some of America's best and brightest. Aside from that one guy.
I'm Amanda Congdon and this is AC on ABC.
