Now, it’s clear to me that our politicians are using us in their own game that doesn’t defend our Constitution, but erodes it.
I guess my point here is that the young guys that are signing up now may not realize that politicians are using them. They may believe with all their heart they are doing their patriotic, American duty. At 17-20 years old, one is still figuring out which way is up.

I don't have any students who signed up for the marines, but I have had several sign up for our military in some capacity.
Every single one did it for economic reasons.
