Right... "people join the military for reason OTHER THAN supporting the war ... And as the report said it might also be a fear combat that keeps them from joining. Some probably do join for other reasons. That's why I recommend raising the recruitment age. Anyone who attempts to join the military and doesn't understand its function is making a big mistake. One explanation is that they are too immature to get it.

"You are just another hack with a desire to apply your own spin" Projecting, are we? "No, people join the military for reason OTHER THAN supporting the war" Show me were anyone here suggested a desire to go to war was a major reason people join the military. People enlist for many reasons - some economic, some patriotic, some for travel and adventure, some for the personal challenge. What is your point? Do you have one? "but the thread is not what you say it is at all." Feel free to piss off, if you don't like it.
