Paul>>Based on my own experiences, I can say without equivocation, or mental reservation, that the reasons men and women join the United States Armed Services are as varied as those individuals themselves....<< I agree with your entire posting. I was gonna try responding in a similar manner, but I think yours was much better than what I would have came up with....and probably much less inflamatory. :o) I've always said that I don't regret my military time, but sure wouldn't want to do it again. When I enlisted(many years ago), I was mostly compelled by doing what I thought was a right thing to do, by doing my share. All the other economic reasons were secondary. If there was a socio/econo perk offered to me on account of my service, I took advantage of it. George Zay
