What things would make you join the Army right now?

Right now the withdrawal of troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. would make me consider it. However I am to old to join again.

Invasion of our country by a "real" enemy.

I joined the first time for a change. I had seen what the military had done for my ex-boyfriend and I thought that it could help me to. Also the educational benefits. Also at that time I would earn more money in the Army. I got injured in BCT and got out after 5 months. It is now 3 years later and I want to go back soooo bad (working on the weight thing in order to do that). My reasons this time are completely different. This time I will actually take a pay cut of almost 15,000/year. This time I want to join because I want to serve my country. I want to wear the uniform. I want to feel that pride again. Everybody joins for different reasons, but the best soldiers are the ones who WANT to be their to serve thier country and not the ones who are just there for the money.

I'd have to lose a lot of years, and they'd have to pay a competitive salary. Neither is likely.

Is not the purpose of joining the Army to fight for your country?

The elimination of the possibility of an unjust death. So basically i'd never join the army.

Money to pay all my bills and to buy a new car, house, and throw in the bank, and college education for my daughter and stuff for her, guarantee that I wouldn't go to war, or overseas.

its not about the money

Mr. PDQ

Only if we were attacked by aliens from another planet and they are not friendly threatening to blow up the world!

An out. Military as an escape from evil, vindictive, abusive parents.

I am a firm believer that what ever your reason for joining the military, it's the right reason. For me, I needed the money for school, and had always wanted to join. (I'm from a military family) Right now, it hardly seems worth the trouble. Why should I have to risk my life (and for my son a mother) for a President that has no clue as to how to run his country. Right now, all the benefits they offer is just a trap, JUST DON'T DO IT! Unless, you really want to go to war. If that is the case, Thank You for your courage!

if i were younger i would join up. i believe in our troops, am proud of our country, proud of our men and women in the service and i would be damn proud to stand with them.

whether the troops in the field are 'ours' or 'theirs', they are all there fighting for their country, their homes, their loved ones and to preserve their own way of life.

i only wish our world leaders could resolve their issues and work together so that all the troops could get home to their loved ones.

god bless us all and peace

Mr. Been there

Changing the age limit. I can think of no reason why a person of 88 years, in good enough condition to pull a trigger and load a machine gun, should not be allowed to join and serve. I did it in WWII and Korea, I can do it again.

I may not be able to run, but I don't intend to run. They can park me in one place, give me a machine gun and enough ammunition and get out of my way. I promise to coat the entire field in front of me with enemy bodies.

What else should they expect me to do?
