People don’t see war as we did back in 1912 and 1939, back
them we saw it as a game that we could win. Now this may be only my opinion but
these days there are three very general ways I see joining the army.
1- you actually wish to serve and help others by representing your country in kindness and defence.

2- High school mixed with your life just really screwed with
you and you say “why not? I really can’t see anything going my way any time
soon” ( a lot more detailed but this is general)
3- A good way to get a scholarship and special training to
get you importance and power in life.
Most know what they’re getting into if they go to the
battlefield, someone you know might get wounded, maybe even die. You will see
blood, poverty, ill-treatment of people, corrupted children; Nothing actually
different than what you’ll see in your own town or city of you look hard
enough. A first world country is no better than a third world country, the
poverty and corruption is just less subtle and publicized.
