What makes young people want to risk their lives to serve their country? Is it the childhood dream, a way of living on the edge or desire of making the world a better place? It can be not only physically hard to be a soldier, but it requires just as much mentally. Should young people not be living their lives with parties, alcohol and make mistakes they can learn by? Maybe that is exactly what the military have to offer.
In the three texts Why they serve – Sarah Palin 2010, A soldiers story: War affects whole family – David Zucchino 2008, The making of a marine officer – Joel Pitney 2008, is all questioning whether to serve the country or not. To author of the book One bullet away: The making of a marine officer, Lieutenant Nathaniel Fick is serving the country equal with brotherhood. According to Tim Kahlor, father to military veteran Ryan Kahlor, does the fact of being on a foreign assignment have nothing to do with solidarity, but actually improves to ruin the most import community, the family.
Whereas Sarah Palin is writing as a proud mother who supports her loving boy serving the country. She is convinced that the fact of her child participating in war is just a sign of him wanting to protect his family and the American country. On the other hand is it to Ryan Kahlor a question of other peoples right to speak out.
