I don't think it is. There are too many young people who sign up for the armed forces for the wrong reasons. I have a friend who is 19 and is also fighting overseas. He graduated from high school and the next day was shipped off to Paris Island. That was his first real time away from his parents and the war is now his second. The reason why he joined was because of all the promises of receiving a free education. I now pray that he returns in order to receive it. The commercials that they show for joining the Army, Navy, Marines, etc. does not show the bad side of what will occur if there is a war. I think when recruiting they should allow the potential enlistee to see ALL that the armed forces really are. That's just my $.02!
