"Volunteer" is a relative term - sure there are genuine volunteers, but there are a lot of people who join because they don't see any other opportunity. There is a reason the rank and file are predominantly from poor backgrounds. There are also a lot of false promises made by recruiters. Again - there is a reason so many homeless men are vets.

Things change-- You gotta change with it (educate yourself either formally or learn a trade) & don't blame others for your bad choices. Sick of these whiny liberals crying about EVERYTHING.
