Good for her! My daughter did the same thing...after a couple years of college, she decided to join up. I laugh at the bunk the left puts out that these kids are poor, can't afford jobs and are very young kids that don't know better, so they join. My kid had a really good job, and her job would have paid for her to finish her degree in accounting. But she wanted to serve and joined up..at the ripe ol age of 24.

That is great. My 2nd cousin is around 22. She said she can finish her last yr while in service. Her brother after grad. from college spent a yr in S. Korea teaching English for the Gov.

I have a number of relatives in the Marines, Navy and Air Force who have done more then a few tours in Iraq.

Another Ohio cousin, Navy Dr. based for over 3 yrs at the
Naval Hospital here in San Diego, he was attached to the 1st Marines and among the first in 03 to roll into Bagdad

Keep hearing that the people in the US want to withdrawl from the war.

How do we jive that up with the fact that new enlistments remain high and that re-enlistments are also high. If the people doing the fighting remain willing and dedicated how can the onlookers be less so? Doesn't make sense to me.

Thank your daughter for her service!
