Filling out my naturalization form....

... and hesitating at the "willing to bear arms on behalf of US" bit. I mean, violence in video games and anime are fun and all, but senseless killing in RL? But I don't want to cause trouble in my app process, so I checked yes. ... Is that irony?

Does "bearing arms" involve operation of the arms, or just the holding and pointing of them?

I think by the time I'm bearing arms, it'd be one of those if-I-don't-fire-the-other-guy-will situations. Come to think of it, by the time this oh-so-moral-and-prudish nation deploys women combat soldiers, there probably won't be much nation left.

On the other hand, maybe I just have to give birth to missiles or something.

Well, if they ever ask you (and they won't) you can always claim you thought they meant the kind of arms that have hands attached.

I didn't realize that was on the naturalization form. It's a good thing I don't have to be naturalized because I probably wouldn't be able to because of being neutral and all...yeah.

and LOL at the giving birth to missiles. There's a way to cut down on military spending!
