I'm not exactly sure, but I think it might be:
1) they like the adventure of it
2) they might get money, or a scholarship for college
3) they like representing the US

Either they feel a strong connection to the values this Country was founded upon..
or
they realize that if they join the Military they will be trained in a career, retire in 20 years with a pension and health care for life, and travel to exotic places.
What other job do you where you start at 18 and retire at 38?

The people I know who became soldiers did so to learn to become a better disciplined person and to help protect our nation.

Reasons vary, one is signifigant. What other career allows you to legally kill people, blow **** up and drive big destructive machines. In my own case, where else could I fly the hottest ride in the world, and blow **** up?
There are also educational and career opportunities that may not exist for the enlisties in civilian life. Non americans acquire citizenship through service. Some people need a lot of structure in their life, the military provides it. Lastly, some people actually beleive in honor and duty.

Because higher education costs a lot of money. And the army feeds me three meals a day!

I was a Marine for eight years & really believe that you can really never fully understand freedom until you have fought or defended it...
