I do not think it will pass either.

I do not think they need it......I think the war over there will come to an end, soon.

I know when my 17 year old cousin joined, they really talked it up to those young men and women...telling them all the benefits they will get, that they will be retired and living care free at the age of 30, that they will get all this money every month........course, none of this has happened yet and more than likely won't.........anyway, those recruiters really get those kids pumped up about joining.

Does my cousin regret joining? Nope......he comes from a long line of family members who have fought in the wars going waaayyyy back. He was alittle disappointed in not getting a lot of what was said to be for him, but that is w/ anything......people make it sound good to get you there and then you find it, it wasn't what you thought.

He actually loved all the camps we has gone too.......course, he is a "cocky" young man! HA! And he is proud of his country and being able to serve it.

Regarding most of those on the frontline being from disadvantage backgrounds....in our own experience, that is totally not true and pretty much the opposite! All the young men and women that has been w/ my cousin were all from good backgrounds, some in college, some attending to help w/ college, etc. In any branch of the military, you get all walks of life that join and for all different reasons.

We support our troops, even if we do not support the war.
