If it's such an important battlefront in such an important war, you'd think Bush would want his kids to take part in it. Are you kidding? That might be dangerous and it would interfere with their drinking and partying schedule.

My experience with the military is around a quarter are there just out of patriotism (they have the money & education to do well in other jobs but choose the military out of patriotism), maybe 10% because they want education benefits (but those benefits aren't that good, while the rest are mostly there because they have to be there. That last group is mostly from small towns in the middle of no where, they knew they'd never go to college, and there weren't any decent jobs where they lived so they joined the military.
