He has made sacrifices that some of us may never understand. Deployments will suck the living shit out of you and put more strain on your family than anything else. Army has the highest suicide and divorce rate for a reason. He has put in his time and if he decided to stay in, not because he is patriotic, but instead support his damn family...WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU TO JUDGE HIM?!?!
"I, (NAME), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God."
Who the hell ever said that you have to be patriotic to serve in the military? We may serve for many reasons, with no regards on what branch you may be in, but we all signed the same dotted line and we all took the same fucking Oath.

I'm with Ray.
I remember when we, the US of fucking A, used to be tolerant and understanding of other's viewpoints, valid or not. I also remember respecting other's points of views because it was different than ours. And I also remember that the US is one giant mixing pot of different cultures with differing opinions on the same subject matter.
So what if someone enlists for their own reasons?
