1. This probably won't answer your question, but...
my husband is a Desert Storm Marine (once a M, always a M). We went to see F911, and he was so quiet afterwards. Turned out it was because he was too angry about the treatment of the military by this administration to talk. If other military feels the same way he does, the only way to keep personnel in will be a draft.

Yes, people join the military for the "benefits", but they do go in with the knowledge that they could sacrifice their lives. What gets them over that hump is their heart filled desire to protect our country. That desire will be gone if we continue to send them into unnecessary wars for corporate/world power gain.
