I knew what it was about also and I knew I was going to war. I joined in 2004 as Field Artillery right at the height of both wars.
Knowing full and well I was going to war, I joined for the sole purpose of a paycheck and benefits. I think you misunderstood my post.
I didn't care about going to war, I joined for the sole purpose of a guaranteed paycheck on the 1st and the 15th of every month and knowing my daughter could go to the hospital any time she needed to.
Shaniac said he would never agree to join just to go to war, I replied with neither did I, because I joined for financial security as a 20 year old father at the time.
