I get a different message from what I read. I thought they joined the military because they were “jobless”...not to serve their country.

My cousin serves close to the DMZ and absolutely loves America. It’s not that he was jobless, he has a mechanical engineering degree from a respectable university and had an offer from Dell and IBM before he joined.

Too funny. I was one of those “yutes” the judge looked down his glasses at and “recommended” that I join.

Best “advice” I ever got !

After the completely retarded and worthless pun in the article title, why would NPR expect an adult to read on?

I wonder if the thought that his parents would name him “Mydung” ever crossed his mind.
