You join to defend your country and do your presidents bidding. All else is strictly a perk. Period! Our armed forces are there ensuring that Americans are free to buy IOM SS/RS Camaro's with black rally stripes. Don't get me wrong. The GI bill and on the job training you get in any of the forces will be with you the rest of your life and help shape who you are. Just never forget why you really joined. Say thanks to my Marine nephew, Scott. Fresh back from his third tour in Iraq.

Okay you sound a little bitter. How can you tell someone why THEY joined the military. I know many of guys who joined for the education that is provided IN the military and not the GI Bill. The guys that are here for the education are no different than anyone else. Everybody has their own reason for joining.
