Yea, sometimes I feel like animals are smarter than humans. Then again, sometimes I feel like a lot of humans are animals.
I'm sorry, but I must disagree. As much government aid as this country gives, you can get Medicare, Welfare, Food Stamps, and live in government housing if you are so poor you think you have to join the military to survive. I think people join b/c they want to, and they think it would be a great honor. Others want free college, but they could get student loans or government grants if they wanted to go that route. I just don't think your argument is logical. And for whatever reason you join, you know that you are taking the risk of going to war upon entering.
