Because it's fun to die for Big Oil... or maybe be a gimp for life.
Yes I'm a vet. but I was drafted so it's not my fault.

I was a college graduate when I enlisted as an Infantryman.
Why?
Because I believe in the system this nation is founded on. I believe in what it stands for.
No, I do not believe in the people that make up the system, but I wanted to do what I could for it. That became my purpose, to prove I could do the right thing and GIVE BACK to the nation that provided me with everything I had.
Clearly, you have zero-concept of that.
There is more to life than just purpose. There is more to life than just serving. That is what I am doing now, getting back to my civilian life.
There is the claim: what is the point if you do not partake in the benefit?
It does not matter if I do not partake in any of it, I did not sign on for so-called "Fame and Fortune"
What is important is that the system survives, that I helped preserve it.
And that is why it is called indoctrination, is the next accusation, another name for which is brainwashing.
It is not indoctrination, it is not brainwashing. It is believing in something besides just yourself. I fought for our system because I believe in what it stands for.
I did not fight for politics. I did not fight for doctrine. I fought for an ideology, for a principal.
This is what I believe in.
If I was anything like you and people that think like you, what value would I have? What use am I to anyone else?
Nothing, I would be good for nothing.
Doing this, I know at least someone will benefit from my efforts and sacrifice, perhaps someone that has not even been born yet.
But they will.
That is enough for me, that was the most important thing to me. That is the ideal I believe in, that is the ideal I was willing to die for.
It was the ideal I killed for.
What you fail to grasp is that the principal is what is at stake here, not just personal interests. The nation has forgotten this, or at least this is the view of the men and women serving today. It is bigger than me, bigger than you, bigger than any single person.
I knew I was expendable, I accepted that fact, there was a comfort in embracing it even.
Your attitude states that you are incapable of making any meaningful sacrifice that goes beyond personal want.
Your kind will only be kept free by the efforts of men better than yourself.
It embarrasses me as a Combat Veteran to know I risked my life for ignorant, ungrateful fools such as you.
At least I was never disposable, unlike your attitude.
And the down checks prove the truth hurts, don't it?

Main reason is to protect our nation. It takes a special person be it man or woman to join the military. They are there to protect their freedoms. If it wasn't for them from the revolutionary war to the present you might not be enjoying the freedoms you have today. So you should be out there shaking their hand and thanking them for joining and doing their duty. That way you can say what you want about the president without fear of reprisal and maybe worse. Or better yet go see a Recruiter and join their ranks.

We aren't free?! WE aren't free?! Go ahead an research Iraq alittle and listen to the how the Iraqis were truly NOT FREE. Thanks to that "corrupt George Bush" women have more power and rights then ever and the real corrupt Saddam is gone forever.
Praise the kids joining the military because they've got more balls than you'll ever have.

The military gives alot of people a chance to earn a living, build up self esteem, have a job which will help them on the civilian side, money for college, room and board.
Others do it for the pride of protecting our country and the honor that comes from being in the military.
Well if you are so unhappy here then leave no one is going to stop you. Here is a kleenex for you too.

have you seen the job market lately? Why not join. JOB security. Do you have a job? Does your job provide free medical and dental. Does your job pay for your relocations? Does your job afford you the opportunity to travel? War is nothing new for the United States. People say why join you can get killed. NEWSFLASH you can get killed in the US. Remember 9/11? dont judge those with the courage to even join the military.

I don't know any kids who have joined the military. But I am an 18 year old man and I joined the military to protect my country and my family. I wanted to be a part of something big so I joined the greatest organization in the world. Also we most definitely know what we are fighting for, our country, your freedom, and the men to my left and right.

You are more free than you think. If you were in another country, you could be killed for talking about your president and your country like that. I'm not for George Bush, but he's not going to be president forever. And I'm sure the people in the military know what they are fighting for, and gladly fight, so that we can be free. Whether you believe it or not. And so that dumbsh*ts like you can talk crap about the people who are defending your freedom as we speak

Most people don't join the military to follow the president, they do it because they are trying to preserve the freedoms that we enjoy here in the United States.
Paying for college is one of the perks. Another one that I can think of is getting to see new place and meet new people, you wouldn't get a chance to do these things if you are going to work at McDonald's.
