this isnt' the greatest country in the world, but it provides the greatest opportunities for any given individual compared to other countries in this world.
if you are smart enough, vicious enough, cunning enough, slick enough, ruthless enough, you can go high in America no matter what your background. But this country has many more problems than a number of countries as a whole

What country is better? How did you arrive at that conclusion? And why aren't you living there? It would seem pretty dumb to live in a place that you didn't consider the best. I live in TN because I think it best meets my requirements.

So this country is so awesome because of its freedom, such as freedom of speech. But if you speak out that things need to be changed, your only option is to move to another country?

I would say wrong place at the wrong time, Most people join to pay for school, or help there family. Alot of people joined years ago and never had to do anything got paid and got out..

Even if that were true, you cannot suggest merely enlisting means the soldier feeels empathy for, or against, the political decisions of the era. I bet even the soldiers who are the staunchest opponents of the war, whom still participate in the conflict, would say they are there for their country, their family, and their ability to have college paid for when they return. Okay that last part was a joke, but you get my meaning.
how do you figure wrong place wrong time? we were/are at war. you know you are going when you walk into the recruiter and sign up. dont see how thats wrong place wrong time.
and thats the problem here. people use the military to pay for school... first and foremost the military is there to protect the country if need be. then the other things are added benefits.

If you want to use that line of reasoning, the military uses American lives to further a political agenda and entice them with free schooling etc. So in reality, by your own reasoning, its the military's fault, not the individual soldier's.
and there is a very simple way to prevent that from happening... dont join the military. there are other ways to pay for school and support a family..
and what exactly is the militarys fault? people being to stupid not to join? i dont see where they hold guns to peoples heads and make them join. if you dont want to go to war, dont join the military... i dont know how that can be any simpler.
EDIT: And furthermore, I honestly think you say that just for the sake of argument. You can't honestly believe that it's wrong for the military to give you benefits for their services. Let's face it, if all people were getting were a basic weekly wage then we would have to become like other countries and require you to join the military. Many companies offer not only a salary but tuition reimbursement if you work for them and go to school.

The point is they use other means to entice people to join. Surely you dont think everyone who joins the military does it because they wish to support the current political agendas.
no i dont, thats the point im making here. people are joining because they see an easy way to get college paid for and get a salary. then they ***** and moan when they get deployed to iraq and risk their lives when in reality thats what they are there for in the first place.
im sorry im not part of this new culture you seem to be where nothing is ever your own fault and there is always someone else to blame. people need to be accountable for their own actions. its a shame that 19 yr old billy from down the street got blown up by a roadside bomb but in the end its little billys fault for enlisting in the first place. he knew he was risking his life. its not the militarys fault. they didnt force him to enlist.
