To make 70k a year in military you have to be there quite some time.

I would have loved to join the military, being 19 obviously I can still easily join, but for what purpose? Our government and country is so -blam!-ed up at this point why go out and help them destroy other peoples lives? To protect my family? Joining the military is the opposite of that. I join and get stationed over seas, terrorist attack on U.S. soil, family in danger and where am I? Across an ocean. I'd rather get a gun license, by a sniper and shotgun and wait till the enemy comes to my front door. Then I will happily protect my loved ones by their side.
