even if you serve only ONE day in the military you will have my respect for serving your country.

I think people get caught up in the notion that if you dont make the military a career you didnt do enough, or on the other end of that, if youre only doing the minimum time, get out and go to the airlines, then youre less than honorable. Im not sure why people have a problem with that. If you take that oath, do your time, and get out, then you have served honorably and nobody can criticize your decision.
