[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 188975, member: 1514"] You do realize that it is mostly 18 through 25 year olds who are defending this country today right? The majority of them are in the range of 19 and 20 during their first tours overseas. Before most of us would be comfortable letting them have free access to our expensive cars, they are driving tanks and other vehicles that cost in the 6 figures. Many kids dont have parents who can afford to send them to college so the military opens that door for them. Some choose the service because it is a family tradition and they feel strongly about wanting to defend this land that our ancestors have fought for over the last 230+ years. They feel its the honorable thing to do and if they, God forbid, give their life for your freedom, its the sacrifice that was called upon by them. As the mother, daughter, and niece of those who have served...and are serving....I am glad they chose to do so. I was never prouder than when my son chose to enlist in the Marines. Nuff said.
