I think anyone can sign for it if I ' m not mistaken <| sep |> just an fyi , I ' m a junior in high school I want to join the military because my family history with my father being a marine and my grandfather also being a marine who served in the Pacific during ww 2 . My grandfather ended the war with 3 purple hearts and a bronze star and while I never met him , I still feel compelled to serve our country and do something that I ' ve been thinking about doing for a very long time . And you may ask , why the army and not the marine corps ? Well it ' s as simple as being guaranteed my MOS unlike my father who got his changed out of marine corps boot camp . <| sep |> I think the why now ? , in present time period , is simply because The WellTempered Clavier had to run through enough permutations and combinations within all the hosts to trigger sentience Maeve ' s maze run . I wrote another theory about Westworld is different things to different people , in which I suggested that Ford was trying to create new bodies for mankind . Why ? So that they could go out amongst the stars . So , Ford is basically on this ' altruistic ' mission and the theme park is just a front . This could be why Ford is not interested in host sentience . It threatens his true mission . I am also beginning to think that the new bodies would give mankind a lot of new abilities . Perhaps , even a built in Good Samaritan ' host '.
