Considering what we got paid $ 448.00 /mo. when I was in it was hard to consider it taking. In all seriousness, I joined to serve, I served, and asked for nothing when I left.

Neither. We need the people and they are fairly compensated for their service.
You can’t say the same about a corporate CEO.

well my point of view its more giving more than anything else the paycheck its ok but in my case i felt that i could do so much more and make some real $ $ and enjoy freedoms in which in the military you are limited where you go what you do and how much money you can make. but i think for some people its more of taking because i seen some lousy people in the military that been twenty gears and somehow they made it to the top even thought they always making lousy decisions and blaming other for their mistakes.

Neither for me.
I was born and raised in a foreign country. became a citizen of the US in 2001. I joined the military because I believe it is a necessity for a male to serve. Humanity has been at war since the beginning, the males went out to fight, the women stayed at home. Just because we are so spoiled and pampered this day and age, I don’t think its an excuse.
I was also partly inspired by Black Hawk Down. After watching it, I read the book, and it hit me that some of the Rangers that died and fought there were younger than me. I thought to myself, why are these guys out there dying and grueling for a cause that honestly has nothing to do with the security of America. I realized for them it doesnt matter where they are fighting. As long as they are all there for each other, and not for us, and not definitely for some hungry somali’s. I joined up, and ironically I ended up being in the same unit that was in Somalia and the movie (3rd Ranger Bn).

Giving Back, because we all fight to serve our country and protect our citizens from domestic and foreign attacks. We don’t choose where we go, we are given orders and do our job. So it is far from taking. We volunteer, knowing the risks, and we still do our job to the best of our ability….so others won’t have to do what we do.

If i could i would rejoin my country’s the United State of America Military.
I served he of 27 years,and was proud of the the uniform i wore,and i am proud to have gave my family,and the rest of the free counties of the world there and yours freedom which the men and woman in service today are doing it for all of us.
It was two hundred and thirty plus years ago that our National Anthem was first written,i wish the all last few words of it could be change to read or say,From the Land of The Free and the Home of The Brave.To be change to the The Land Of The Brave and The Home if the Free.
Let me say this God Bless and Protect them all !!!!!
