4. "I'm fighting the ideological war here at home"
I don't know what is more pathetic. That reason or a Blackwater contractor who said he was in Iraq to put food on the table for his family. Killing a family in Iraq so that his can prosper, that made my stomach turn thinking about that one.

6. One good thing......
By the time my son quits switching majors and finally GRADUATES from collee (too old for the job market by then), he'll still have the military as last chance!
