I've read so many times bumper stickers like "Hate bush, support our troops" but we don't have a draft. So what did they decide to go and fight there for. For America? That's just nationalism speaking, it has no meaning when you actually stop and think about it. Whether they want to acknowledge it or not, by signing up they're supporting the ineptitude of this administration, they're not "defending america."
