Anyone could have joined the military (unless a medical condition, etc). And yes members of the armed services can retire after 20 years but perhaps what many don't know is the hours put in during those 20 years, the sacrifices, the works conditions, and NO overtime to name a few. And many don't make it to the 20 years.

Serving in the military can be difficult even if you are never in a shooting war. The conditions are difficult and you can't even choose where you live. The military CONTROLS your life like you are in a Dictatorship. You have to have a VERY HARD shell and a certain personality to go EVEN 20 years. And those 20 years are the most productive for most people. The military life is very hard on families and children. Anyone in the military deserves rewards such as V.A. benefits.
