The military has exploited a great many people and I think it's a little naive to deny that.  The fact that Tillman joined doesn't prove anything to the contrary.    I am well aware that the vision most people paint of the military is greatly inaccurate.  It is not a collection of poverty stricken high-school dropouts as many people claim.  However the military is also far from innocent, thousands of servicemen and a few good friends of mine were explicitly lied to by their recruiters and were made promises that the military then denied including length of tours of service, college financing, oppurtunities, and many other things.
