why did you feel this way? seriously...don't you feel at all used by rich, old men? I don't mean any disrespect... [/b]
I didnt think of it as being used by rich, old men? My parents and bro voted for Bush and are not rich. I just considered it doing my part for my country and all my military buddies were over there, and I was there with them. I joined knowing that I could go to war, so crying about it when I went over didnt really seem like a good idea. I can't stand hearing, "well the military has a great college plan, that's why I joined". So that sound like, "It's not what I can do for the military but what the military can do for me". To me, you have to earn what the military gives you for your after military life.
