it sounds so quaint and even a little corney now but I honestly felt (and still do) that I wanted to give back to the country that is my home.

You owe your country, you owe yourself, your family and your friends a long and prosperous life.
You owe the politicians who send all the young men and women to fight and die for profit absolutely nothing.
Sadly the 'wars' today have nothing to do with justice and honor.
