now how would you know that... do you know most of the soldiers?
I joined the army because it was something I wanted to do since I was a kid. After I was in, I was having so much fun (even though it does suck ass at times) that I re-enlisted.
I got no college fund out of it and I turned down the G.I. Bill
I wouldnt call myself a hero, but I did earn 14 medals in 7 years.
Most of the guys that I went thru basic training with that went to the same duty station also re-enlisted. Some stayed for the same job, some retrained for new jobs. And yes some of them got out and went to school. Everyone has a different motive for joining, and you cant say any of them are right or wrong.
One thing I can say for sure though, none of the guys I served with were 'scared kids'
