My own experience in the armed forces. That being said, am currently signed up to do a tour of duty in Kosovo, but since I only made the reserve candidates list cant be sure yet if they take me or not.
If that is the case, your experience is markedly different than mine, where the VAST majority of people seem to care about duty and honor, and use it as a motivation to join.

However, I tend to stay away from such statements as they are anecdotal at best and cannot be proven.

Let me ask you this: why do you think US military recruitment spiked immediately after 9/11? I'm pretty sure that it's not because of additional pay, more people felt the need to pay for college, etc.
