Rosie made a similar statement this week; that the soldiers who enlist do it because they can't afford college.

SO it is NOT because they couldn't find a monetary job making the equivalent to feed and take care of their families. Most places hire at 7.50 now....so don't spew this leftist, loony, blanket statement anymore. It is completely false and has no factual basis to go off of.
FAAARR more then 40hrs a week I took one week while I was Not Deployed and logged 92 hrs. including 2 days that had 24 hr. duty. for family guys this is away from family for single guys (which 80% of us were) not so bad.
end point that was 1 week at the pay scale of e-3 with @ 1400/month
so I was earning about 2.75 an hour but a whopping 6.00 if you include the free room and board. its definately not about money.
