why did they join? do they believe in the war? do they support the government? or did they just join for the age-old desire to serve and protect their country's freedom?
just wondering....

Fox2102 Nothing is sexier than Marine dress blues  So true biggrin
Oh my husband joined because he didn't know what he wanted to do with his life confused I'm joining because I want to serve my country, I support this war even though we shouldn't have been there to begin with, we are there now so we need to finish the job.

The top reasons for enlistment:
To get away from home life/ issues (mostly for fresh out of highschoolers)
To support a family
For college
For the country
Because it's in the family

He looked me in the eyes and said, "I had a calling, that's all." and I took it, and I respect him more for being that honest. He just felt called to serve.
He's home for a little while too which makes me a very happy girl.

I served because I was lost. I was 17 and completely lost in my life. The Army recruiter called my house and a light bulb went off biggrin ! I served for 8 years, went all over the world and back again. I got out because of my son. Nothing in my life (besides my son) will fulfill my life like the Army did. I was a recruiter for a while. Most of the kids I put in joined because it was their calling. Some joined because of money. Others joined just to get the Heck out of dodge.
