let's think of a few other options:

1) enter the sex-service provider industry

2) grow tobacco

3) peddle drugs of a more nefarious nature (and thanks to us military intervention in afghanistan, there'll be an abundant supply to sell).

4) serve as a hitperson for the mob (they're effective at keeping order in their neighborhoods, much like the u.s. military likes to think it's effective at keeping every other nation in line).

etc etc.

but good thinking on bringing up mr. clinton's atrocities. mr. hannity would be so proud!

and who am i to judge people's motivation? i guess i should make clear i wasn't judging, i was merely passing along observations i have made from 3 or 400 people i have been acquainted with who have enlisted. sure, that's a rather small sample size, but in line with many opinion polls which are much discussed at this website.
