I feel kind of empty that I hadn't served millitary yet as I feel that millitary service is one way of honouring my ancestors who fought in wars and served millitary. I also think that millitary service can offer a positive change for men who live in this modern consumerist society as it breaks comfort, dullness and mundanity of modern life, despite being very much degraded.

You are forced to break your own ego, sumbit to your superiors and listen to orders. It teaches discipline and self-control, you develop certain respect and relationship with your comrades as in some sort of mannerbund.

Evola wrote in Men Among the Ruins:

In regard to a second and more numerous section of the Order, I have in mind men who correspond to the human type shaped here and there through selections and experiences of an essentially warrior character, and through certain disciplines. Existentially speaking, this type is well versed in the art of “demythologization”: it recognizes as illusion and hypocrisy the entire tenacious legacy of the ideologies that have been employed as instruments, not to bring down this or that European nation, but to deal a deadly blow to the whole of Europe. These men harbor a healthy intolerance for any rhetoric; an indifference toward intellectualism and politiciansʼ gimmicks; a realism of a higher type; the propensity for impersonal activity; and the capability of a precise and resolute commitment. In the past, in some elite fighting units, today among paratroopers and analogous corps (e.g., Marines and others), some disciplines and experiences favor the formation of this human type, which displays the same traits in various nations. A common way of being constitutes a potentially connective element, beyond nationalities

Also in Notes on The Third Reich, Evola described Reichswehr like this:

In the spirit of Prussianism, the Reichswehr did not consider itself as a simple military force at the disposition of a bourgeois parliamentary regime, but rather as the representative of a given vision of life and also of a political idea. With its attitude, imbued by arigorous sense of honour and discipline, the Reichswehr was to maintain these characteristics even during the successive vicissitudes of the Third Reich, for the most part.

So, of course even though modern millitaries are nothing in comparison to Reichswehr, do they still serve as an representative of a given vision of life, lifestyle of severity, discipline, sacrifice? Can it still offer a man something that will transcend mere life and help him on a path of self-overcoming?
