Isn't going to war and protecting our country why you join the military?  Or are you one of those who just want the money for college?  If you are you are pathetic.

It does seem odd that not even one of the top three decision makers have been in combat and yet they make the decisions that seasoned military leaders have to follow. It would be different if they asked more input from the Generals but according to the latest reports, they didn't and they don't. There have been military men who made ho hum presidents because they didn't have a full grasp of running the country. But for Petes sake at least one of the top three should have military experience to provide input and act as liaison between the white house and chiefs of staff.\n\nCM  you dished out a hate filled rant about politics. The party was never mentioned in the question only the fact that none of the men sending troops into harms way had any combat experience. You come across as a brainwashed republican worshipper who would vote republican if the party decisions eliminated your job and you had to live in your car in a high crime area. For God's sake focus on the issue or are you unable to do that with all your hatred buzzing in your head?

Yeah thats horrible that you would even ask that question. I'm assuming that you are currently in. It's people like you that make this Army weak, and headed in the wrong direction. You made a commitment to the Army and to the Nation, and you uphold that commitment. You are a complete coward, and I personnally as a fellow Soldier would not feel comfortable with you in. Man up and take on the responsiblity that you agreed to. I know of a way to get out, but I am not going to tell it to you, you don't deserve it, you deserved to be kicked out, dishonorably.

British Army is a good choice but it's tough so you need to be sure you can hack it. On the plus side it recruits from all over the world i.e. Nepal and The Caribbean to name two.\nYes I imagine you would get citizenship after your service too as most the over seas soldiers do. As for equipment we don't have nearly the amount the Americans spend on their military but we make up for that in training, versatility and toughness. \nThe British Army is the best trained and motivated army in the world!

I want to be in the military. And that stuff that one person said about not being educated is so not true. I have the 3rd highest GPA in my school and my parents are more than happy to pay for college, its the fact that our country needs our help right now that i want to join. and that person who said that is just on of the countless Americans who take our freedom and our way of life for granted. I AM WITH YOU ALL THE WAY!! I think its great that you want to join

It's one thing to not volunteer.  It's completely different during a draft when others are being forced into the military.  For example Bush used political connections to jump the line for the National Guard.  He got to stay home while someone else was forced to go to Vietnam.\n\nIn this war Bush has sent the Guardsmen into Iraq.  The very group that kept him safe during 'nam he is sending into combat today.

I would have to vote for President Bush

You don't have to be a citizen to join the army.  You do, however, have to be in this country legally.  It could be an idea to try to supplement our armed forces this way.  Though you could run into a language barrier problem

Sgt. First Class Lowe, I think you are doing a great service there because you love your country and you love your job and you are selling the Army for its positive notes.  However, I think anytime a young man or woman is going into something like the Army, that person needs to be aware of all factors, not just the positive ones.  Especially since most of our soldiers are young ones, not even old enough to drink liquor.  \n\nKeep the Army Times in your office.  That way, when you do sign a person up, you know it will be because that person truly wants to help our country and make it a better place!\n\n(An older Army Brat)

I am a supporter of President George W. Bush; especially on the war on terror and getting rid of Saddam Hussein. I also support the men and woman in our armed forces and every time one comes to my college, I say to them “Thank you for your service to our country” and each man and women appreciates those words. I know that at one time, Americans stood behind the American armed forces even if they disagreed with how they helped the world. \n\nAs for Americans who BASH BUSH, they drive me up the wall. If your are a supporter of President Bush or not, you should appreciate the fact you live in a great country and here are five reasons I appreciate living in the United States of America no matter if the President of the United States of America is a Democrat or a Republican;\n\n1. I can vote for whoever I feel is the best candidate for a position in office and I am not forced to vote for someone I do not approve of.\n\n2. I can have any type of a career I like as long as I have the skills necessary for that career.\n\n3. As a future parent, I can choose how I would like my children to be educated and if I want them to attend public or private school.\n\n4. As an individual, I can choose where I like to live as long as I can afford housing and the resources I need in order to survive.\n\n5. I am able to worship freely and attend worship where I feel is good for my beliefs. \n\nWhen President George W. Bush term is over, I will miss voting for him; however, I do hope that his Brother Jeb or a strong Republican can become the next President of the United States of America to continue the legacy that George W. Bush had done for the United States of America and for Planet Earth as well.

The thought is there but let me ask you this.\nHave it ever crossed your mind that someone may drive their truck through a red light and side swip you in your car? Yes the thoughts are there but it is important to control that fear. \nPeople join the military because they want to serve their country, they are proud to be an American and want to defend, I'll say it again DEFEND their country so that you and everyone else in this country have freedom. If all American were to act like you we would be under control of a country like Iran, Iraq, Syria, ect.. and ALL of our rights would be taken away and forced to live life as they want us to live.\nSorry my friend that is not want I want. Proud that there are people willing to die for America to ensure that we have freedom.

Why the hell would you want to join the minutemen?

Don't join the army under the Bush Administration.

they aren't motivated to die for President Bush necessarily.  they're willing to die for YOU.  To protect the freedoms and democracy that you take for granted every day.  A soldier joins the military in order to serve and protect his or her country.  They're not doing it because they necessarily WANT to die, but it is a risk that they are more than willing to take.  They do it to keep you safe.  \nNext time you see a military member in uniform at the store, at McDonald's, or whatever, you should thank them, because even if they aren't in Iraq, haven't been to Iraq, or probably won't even go to Iraq, they are still making a huge difference in your life, and you don't even realize it.

Everyone needs a scape goat, and whom other to point fingers at when something goes wrong in the USA?\niF God Himself were in the White House, some people would complain about him also.\nI have a friend that will be doing his 3rd tour in Iraq in the Marines. He is almost 20 years old.\nI asked him if he thought he was doing the right thing by being over there in the first place.\nHe answered yes, that there were many reasons to be there, and he believes with all his heart that this war is indeed needed- and that Bush was doing the right thing.\nNo one better for me to verify this with than a young man putting his life on the line to protect out country.
