I agree with AGDee that the military isn't for everyone, but there are so many other options available to provide service to your country.

Their country being strong has nothing to do with the billions of dollars worth of foriegn aid sent in by the U.S., does it?
I know the Israeli military can kick some ass, but give some credit to the American taxpayer!
