Many things including, but not the strongest reason, patriotism. The Army offers a job and a future. It offers education, training, a structured way of life, excellent medical benefits, early retirement with some of the best retirement benefits in the world. SOme say the wages are not good but when you consider things beyond wages; housing (with no rent, insurance, maintenance or utilities) it great, medical that you pay nothing for (including family coverage), retirement that you do not pay into, opportunities to seek other work and locations while still getting paid, promotions with added income based on your demonstrated skill and desire to learn and achieve;  and educational opportunities very few private or government jobs offer. There are many good reasons for not only an Army career but a career in any of the services.

Answer 8

...it's "enlist".

These days, it's a combination of patriotism/reaction to 9/11 and a preparation/excitement after playing video-games with weaponry/firepower for 10-15 years of their lives. (this is encouraged by the Armed Services)

Otherwise, it's a way to get education, discipline and away from the no-challenge, no-win areas you grew up in -- and join the greatest armed services in Human history, see the world and make 1,000s of friends instantly. It's noble. It's rewarding, and it has its risks -- of course.
