Long hours, too little pay...

Why would anyone want to join the military??? I am wondering why we should stay. Scott has 21 years in service and 2 more to go before he can retire and each day seem to become an eternity. Last weekend he got called in because of a DUI...the whole entire squadron has to suffer while some drunk sleeps it off somewhere without a care. Who pays the price? The innocent. I am so sick of this life and all it's "benefits". Serving in today's world takes a whole different caliber of individual. Not sure what it is that they want but it is not the good guy that works hard and doesn't complain about anything. Or maybe they do, but those guys are getting wise and going to go another direction before too much longer. There is life outside of the force. A much better life than that of today's soldier. This week, they have been on 12 hour shifts, through the entire weekend. A whole weekend shot because someone wants to play games. And not the fun kind. It's annoying, discouraging and down right demoralizing. I admire our soldiers, they are the worlds finest indeed. But I do not agree that our nation's higher authorities should poop all over them relentlessly.
