True everyone has different reasons of joining the armed forces, some people do it because they come from a poor background and the military is actually a good avenue for upward economic mobility believe it or not. Other people do it for education, some do it because they have screw loose and want to shoot people, others are just patriots.
Jamie Mac's point is the purpose of the military is to fight and win our nations wars. Everything else is secondary, and you really can't argue that.
However, I think Jamie's problem is with the people who want to take advantage of the military system and benefits... i.e. get all the benefits of the military but not actually make (or weasel their way out of) the corresponding sacrifice....which I don't think manimsoblack is trying to do at all.
It sounds like manimsoblack is completely prepared to do what the military expects him to do in exchange for the experience.
