One doesn't have to be a rocket scientist to know that once you sign, that your behind belongs to Uncle Sam. I think folks look at the immediate and not the long-term implications. If you go in the service and there is a war, you WILL be called up! If you are a fireman and there is a fire, you WILL be sent to battle it!

Pardon the intrusion, but I have some thoughts.
Would you not say that 1) people, in general, join these days for the money/benefits (and not so much for the service to their country) and 2) the government tricks everyone who comes anywhere near a recruitment office?
I recently saw a news piece on army recruiters who flat out LIED to get people to sign. When this information was brought to the higher-ups, they claimed that they did not condone the actions. But, when the news folks mentioned that without lying and tricking people, it would be next to impossible for the recruiters to bring in enough new people to meet quota, the higher-ups didn't have much to say.
Having said that, I would NOT be surprised if recruiters were encouraged to press blacks (along with others that certain members of this society clearly want removed). When that report comes out, I will be cheering for the exposure of yet another plot against non-whites.
ETA: PHAShriner/1906 - I am usually put off by your presentation style, but I have to agree with you here!
