Maybe things have changed but during my time in the service (1977-84) duty, honor and love of country were by far the three main motivators for soldiers joining and reenlisting in the US Army.
After all we had no GI Bill, no enlistment bonuses and our pay was minimal. So what other reason could we have enlisted for if not for patriotism?
