"We did not sign up to fight Iraqis."
Grrr. Give me food, shelter, clothing. Train me in a skill it would take me thousands of dollars to learn on my own that I can turn into a career. Give me piles of free money to attend college. Give me honors, medals, accolades, and the opportunity to do this for a mere 20 years and retire with a full pension for the rest of my life.
But don't ask me to fight. I didn't sign up to the MILITARY FORCES for that.
