For those of us that got drafted, and the millions that volunteered for the draft {you only got drafted for 2 years, but if you enlisted it was for three years} we did it because it was the law.

Not many of us were Audi Murphy types, but no one, I mean no one, did it for the money.

My first US Army pay check was $78/month, I made $150-$200 a month pushing cement and 16 inch concrete blocks for my dad at his side line business.

Can you even imagine the 50,000 plus guys that were killed in Nam, having signed up "for the money"?

That mika, living a privileged life from birth, has no clue what a real American does or why.
