Unfortunately I agree. Every time I read of someone who is thinking of joining the military, either because they can't afford flight school, or some other ridiculous reason, I think of John Candy in Stripes, when he was explaining his reasoning for joining the Army: "You got a what?... an 8-week course here? Which is PERFECT for me. I'm gonna walk outta here a lean, mean, fightin' machine!"

There are much better reasons to join the military, because being put in a position of losing one's life, just to have saved a few bucks, isn't a good one.
