If we went to Iraq for the oil, we would have gotten SOME of it after 1.5 years of occupation. So where's the oil? We haven't seen a freakin drop of it. Why is that? Because the whole "we invaded for the oil" is old and dried up. That shit started during the first gulf war, it didn't hold any water then and it doesn't now. It's good sounding rhetoric though.

Most people who join say it's for the educational benefits, but less then 10% of them actually use those benefits at all, let alone to the completion of a college degree, that's probably less then 5%. Why do you think the GI Bill gives a 10/1 return on money invested? Because there are at least 9 other servicemen who won't use their benefits at all. Most of the people in the military couldn't get a job anywhere else, and didn't want to go to school. So they enlisted. How do I know? I did 4, and am now actually using my GI Bill, unlike most other enlistees.

Further, if one signs up for a job for the benefits, they aren't allowed to bitch about doing the job they signed up for. Why do you think the military offers so many benefits? Not everyone relishes the idea of running off to be shot at, especially not for crappy pay and no benefits.
