People nowadays go to military for their own benefits, such as free education they can be provided, as job opportunity, for citizenship, because they can't find their major, or for serving the country. People from back in Civil War time went to military for escape from their current job, peer pressure, free meal, or for serving the country. These information tells me that in every time period, there are people who only think about their benefits and people who really want to serve the country. The reason haven't changed from back in Civil War time and now. Some people for their benefit, and some people for their country.
The military service, however, was not worth it. People from different states can have different life styles and it would be interesting to see all different life styles they have. There will be also lot of friendship and stuff like that where you can enjoy yourself with people who you don't know. There will be free food provided, according to them. These reasons are only reason that I might go to army, but they don't worth the chance of getting myself killed at war. Besides, war is very violent thing. I would not kill people just because it's what general tells me to do, and if I'm not willing to kill, I shouldn't go to army. There are also many hardships. Sleeping and waking up early, difference in temperature, disease, lack of resources I should get, separated from all my loved ones, and many other things can be hardship that I wouldn't take just for fun advanture and food.
