You are right. If it were for money I would NOT be going back into the Army. As Loathe can attest, they don't offer the best pay. I do it out of duty, pride and love of my country, and I am willing to tolerate certain things to ensure that my country is safe, even if some deem it unconstitutional. I also consider myself a warrior and not a Soldier of Fortune. There are enough people out there to fill that role, and frankly that concept never interested me. Like Jack Nicholson said in A Few Good Men, "I don't want money and I don't want medals".
I just want to serve and be the best soldier I can be.
