my son joined the military when he could have easily gone to college or gotten a job. it's what he wanted to do. just like my brother is a fireman because he wanted to be one. my dad was a policeman. my husband and i were both in, because we wanted it. didn't buy any lies, i didn't worry about the gi bill, neither did my husband.
people sometimes tend to try to simplify things, or label things. why people go into the military for instance. just because it doesn't appeal to some, doesn't mean it wouldn't appeal to anyone.
my son is very smart, had enough intelligence to qualify for nuke training to work on the plants on aircraft carriers. he's no dummy, nor is he naive.
