Do you think there are conflicting attitudes when grads enlist in the military? I was fascinated when I read this post in the WSJ - http://bit.ly/8ZOU6s - It talks about all the praise that's given to grads going to elite colleges, but when a grad enlists, the reaction isn't the same and parents often announce it without the same grandeur. What do you think?

Thanks for all these great perspectives. So interesting to read and mull over. I love examining our preconceptions and learning more perspectives.

'What the f___ is this? I didn't sign up for any of this killing and dying s___! Let me out of here!"
That's when we tackled his ass, dragged him back into the bunker, and the platoon sergeant grabbed him by the collar, and bellowed (and was heard above the gunfire and shelling), 'What part of Army, soldering, killing, bleeding and dying didn't you understand, little boy?"
Needless to say, he was on the return flight to the States, with an other than honorable discharge.
