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.
