15. People join the military for a variety of reasons

Edited on Tue Aug-28-07 05:01 PM by rene moon

They want to serve their country, no money for college, want a new direction in life, family tradition, a way to get of their poor neighborhoods, etc.

Of course, there are some who join because of the "bloodlust" but if you saw the numbers of those who are join, many are minorities. Minorities have higher numbers of recuits, than whites do.

It is a way out of their current lives.
