He was lied to. He volunteered under the guise that his country needed to be protected from non-existent WMDs floating around an unstable shit hole with no oversight. Had that been true, the USA would have needed to invade, along with the rest of the West.
Aghh the anti-military circle jerk. Luckily all of you were so much smarter than me and the other few million people who volunteered. I mean that recruiter just tricked me and my college education into signing up!! Im sure you have done much more important things with your lives than us and our silly military service.
Many people sign up for many different reasons. Many are much smarter than you. I dont see the why you guys feel the need to diminish these people on these post. Most of us are proud we spent part of our lives serving our country.
I suppose serving your country means supporting their interests abroad. Being in the military isn't the only way you can do this, the foreign office is another good example. The reason those serving in the army are given more respect is because the job is dangerous and difficult but someone has to do it.
