It sounds good to many. But they never inform anyone about the down side. :evil:
Egg-xactly. I don't think there's any doubt that one of the reasons the US economy has been sabotaged is to make people so desperate that they'll enter the military for lack of a better option. I've met people like this. Young guys who can't find another job. Quite an upside for a war-based economy.
