I guess I just don't get the "doing something to help people" thing.
Why do they need "help?"
I'm pretty sure that they are getting paid for it, and in addition, are getting free room and board, college education assistance packages, will get free medical for the rest of their lives (VA), good home loan and business loan packages, etc.
I mean, shit...it's not like they are a bunch of third world refugees eating sand to stay alive.
I just think it's strange that people think that they need "help" when there is actually a shit ton of people around the globe who actually, truly need "help" but they don't count for two shits because they aren't dressed in camo with a US flag shoulder patch, carrying a machine gun and being a part of an foreign occupying army somewhere. It's not like they were drafted or pressed ganged and being forced to serve somewhere against their will.
