This thread has gotten a lot of response. I'm not going to read it all, but I have to mention why I got out of the army at the earliest possible time. I was in a classroom building at Ft. Sill, Oklahoma and noticed little red and gold signs in every room. They all said the same thing, "Artillery: The greatest killer on the battlefield." There I was, learning to be an artillery officer. I got a little sick.

> I suggested the current poll question. I expected about at least 50 percent of the people to have enlisted or been drafted. I was *extremely* surprised when I saw 60% had never joined because they didn't want to. I myself plan to join the Marines or Army, and my father was two months away from Vietnam. I was just wondering why some of you people weren't interested. Was it a personal situation or was it you did't want any personal risk?
