I'm weird.

I'm half-watching "We Were Soldiers" on TNT.

The sounds of battle are soothing to me.

I know. Weird.

Mel Gibson's attempt at a Southern accent is amusing, wandering from Texas to the Carolinas as he speaks.

What about service troops?

Not as cut and dried as the combat arms. There are a couple of basic training centers that do the basic training (Fort Jackson, SC comes to mind) and then they ship out to an advanced training venter (Ft. Leonard Wood for medics as na example.) So they don't get the concentrated months-on-end exposure to the accent that us combat monsters do.
