just doesn't make sense in this day and age. sure, its an honor but most people only enter into it because they have little other options. i know it wouldn't be first pick for my daughter or son. i rather them go to school, enjoy being young as it doesn't last long and work towards a career, or do whatever makes them happy. if thats joining the service, then so be it but if it weren't tradition in her family im sure vendzillas daughter would not of joined.

and i have to disagree that religious people give good advice, maybe they do to other religious people but in cases with every one else telling someone god loves them and has a plan for them isn't going to do much. i suppose they could give advice without the sermon but those of religious authority rarely do. though i do agree its 'safer'.
