Why ethical or moral reasons would cause one to join today's army in america?

Answer 1

First, understand that we have more to fear from within our own government than from beyond our borders.

The majority of new enlistees join merely for economic reasons. Many coming from economically disadvantaged areas of the US. Some have few alternatives in which to escape poverty.

It seems that it is becoming much more difficult to find new recruits even given the increased incentives. No wonder! After hearing about how the American public as well as the rest of the world are appalled by our military actions is bad enough,but when one learns of the amount of casualties and deaths on a Daily basis, one has to seriously weight the risks.

Now, it seems so difficult, if not impossible, to believe anything that our government tells us. So why would anyone want to join? Who wants to kill or risk their life for no reason? And, to even think young Americans were even drafted against their will to fight and perhaps die in a small insignificant country called Viet Nam.

Remember, the uncontrolled power that has been unleashed upon others may be just as easily turned upon ourselves.

Answer 2

Personally, I didn't do it for any ethical or moral reasons. I just went forward into the recruiting office and just never saw a reason to turn back.

And I'm glad I joined by the way.

Answer 3

If you are looking for an excuse why you haven't had the guts to sign up, forget it. People, men and women sign up because they want to; they want to serve thier country, many look on it as a rite of passage into adulthood. That explains the disdain they have for those who have not served. I'm with them.

I oppose the Invasion of Iraq have nothing but praise for the troops.

Answer 4

in 1963 J.F.K. was killed in the streets of Texas. i joined the navy shortly after that because i believed our government that russa had something to do with it. of course now i know better. the financial and political powers in the u.s.a killed J.F.K. in order to answer you i have to say that regardless of the political reason that freedom is not free. freedom costs us all a great deal. some will pay with their life. some with limb. you are able to read this because we are still a free nation. if you do not understand this simple point then America is doomed.

Answer 5

some join because they have no directions and others join because there father, grandfather join, and they see them as hero's. Morally because one protect it country from harm, so we have the freedom to be on the Internet and talk crap about our country and not get shot for doing it. I love all those who die for me to be able to talk, walk,go shopping and all those wonderful things we love to do without worry of being blow en into pieces. So THANK YOU
