It is not realistic to think that all people do things for a noble reason. This is actually seldom true.
But people usually do end up doing things they "want" to do. At least they want to do it at the time they decide. I can understand people signing up to fight in world war II. We were attacked and clearly needed to defend ourselves, or so that is what most people believed. Today, people get paid good money in the Military, so if you qualify, its an easy job to get. But it is more than a job, its a commitment and a contract not to be taken lightly. You may be asked to kill someone or go on what could be a suicide mission. That's one hell of a job. |

One wise guy says to another: "Why join the Army? Its just a guy you don't know telling you to wack another guy you don't know."  (I thought that really made sense on a personal basis.)
  I like that.
The things is I am very unpatriotic and anti war for so many reasons on so many levels. But let's just leave it at that. 
also anti war here oddly some anti war people I have met are military or ex military - fight one and learn to hate it, I guess Wow. I believe it. And some get brain washed. |

You guys are also forgetting the fact that some people join the military because they can't do anything else but maybe flip burgers or were just plain trouble kids. Remember the threat some kids would get back in the day? "You better shape up or I'm sending you off to military school!" So yeah, while some have noble intentions, others join so they have their school paid for, others so they can travel and see the world, while others just have no other avenue to take. Yep, my x husband (the one on restraining order) got his Phd paid through his military service. |

Yep realistic is something i tend to avoid at times, But when you see your childrens friends come home in body bags you tend to forget that there may be people out there who didnt join to protect us. Most of our boys have the australian flag tatooed on them because they are proud of our country and have commited to serve it When you live in an army community it is hard to think that the young boys are not there to protect us, especially when they are continually being sent overseas to help |
