Yeah, in America we do not have compulsory service or military conscription. It is one of the many benefits and freedoms we enjoy because we have volunteers who love our Democratic Republic and the ideals for which it stands and are willing to sacrifice their own lives to protect it.
Now, as a former service member myself I can say that I certainly won't agree with many of the decisions made by individuals in the government; but as a whole (with the exception of everything our Lord and Savior the Great Obamanation is doing right now) I agree with the path that our government leads us. Having given up many freedoms to join the military, I now understand them much more and relish them passionately as a private citizen. I would say that I am even more willing to give my life to protect this country now that I'm out and have a family.
With the way things are going now......who knows how much more the American people are willing to take before they decide to kick the bums out.
EDIT: Thank you for your pending service, Navarro. It is men like you who keep our country strong.
