on the other hand some join because of whats going on in the world. Pat tillman was a good example. He passed up a contract worth millions to go into afghanistan to fight. Some people are willing to risk their lives to protect america.

Then there are people who want to make a career out of the military.

but mostly its because of college. Not every family can pay for it.

I dont think u quite understand waht was said, he wasnt saying that they are all sheep but leaders and military figureheads see them as sheep whoever gives out the orders does not take the look so deep into the soldiers lives as we do they just see them as soldiers that are at their disposal.... I dunno thats what I got from it I hate war!

hector:
I know someone who is in the Marine's.  he is back in the states now.  he got shot in the chest, but was wearing a bulletproof vest.  He has the vest and you can see the dent in it, and he has a scar on his chest.

I really don't think there is very many people who really join the military for the sole reason of getting money for college.  I really beleive everyone in the military joins because they really want to be part of it.  I don't think many people are in the military against their own will, but doing it for money.  There is a thing called a job, which can make you a lot more money than the military.
