i find it odd how the ones that scream 'i got rights 'wont fight anyone but their own country men for them,THEY NEVER SERVE IN THE MILITARY.
they will bash a nieghbors head for a ten foot strip of wiasted land
but wont think of being in the service and protect the entire country.
why should they do anything for anyone?
how can people understand most jion trying to get out of POVERTY,they have not much to lose ,you say welll they could lose thier lifes,but to them LIFE aint so good and they want it to get better to the piont of risking it all
you must be there or have been to understand,
do i recommend the army,hell no
but if one wants to jion it i will just thank him or her for whatever reason they jion THEY will serve my nation as my goverment sees fit,and whatever they get out of it im happy for,if it cost them their lives im saddened by it.
they jion up to help themself,some jion to be hero's not many do that.but it can cost you everything even your last breath.
and it can open doors for your future.
life is not easy for 99% of the world
we all cant be lifeguards on some nice beach and get paid big bucks
some people have to risk it all just to exist,or have a future they seek.
so dont go acting like those that jion dont know they risk alot they know
its not no secret its a shootin war,
regardless of what i think they should do in iraq and afghanistan
the young people who jion up and VOLUNTEER,do so for the benifits it can bring and they decide to do it or not
some people seem to think they TRicked into it,or something
everyone knows recruiters lie,but everyone knows there is a war too
and deciding to jion up now is totally different than before it started
i feel sad for all the young lives lost,they only wanted to better themself
the us goverment polocies cost alot,sad but true,changes are needed but not having a military AINT ONE OF THEM

peace

ps
agian THANKS for all who serve,or have served.

Warning Young People the Army is out to get you you need to know that the Army is busily exploiting a provision in the No Child Left Behind law that allows recruiters to go into public schools receiving federal funding, gain access to students' personal data and cultivate potential recruits with a virtually unfettered hand. According to an Army manual, savvy recruiters should eat in the school cafeteria, befriend administrators, bring coffee and donuts for teachers and buddy up to team captains and student body presidents to win the hearts Rating: 5
