You should be scared Matt. That's the smartest thing you've said about this subject.

Why? Is the offer about to expire? The army is going to stop taking new recruits?

Matt, you don't have to make a decision to join the armed forces. You have until you are over 30 -- if that's what you decide to do.

How do you figure? Maybe it'll tear your @$$ off -- but leave you living in the VA psych ward for the rest of your very long life? Have you looked around at veterans of some of our wars, Matt? Do you see the Viet Nam vets out there? Do you think the armed forces "tore their @$$es off and made them better?"

Matt -- as long as you look at unrealistic escapes instead of trying to optimize reality, you're going to have trouble.
