Not to split hairs, but take a look at often capitalize, which denotes that it is correct to capitalize. Anyhow, I stand by my comment, I made a typo which he tried to turn around.
Web "comes" are still lacking in humor, or wit.

"Here's the thing, if the motives are bad and wrong by the politicians, then wouldn't that mean that the people in the military are just as guilty because they are not drafted and sign up on their own?"
This is a good notion, but it's flawed. The majority of people that serve have a feeling of patriotism. Once you're a member of the military, you do as your told. The reason for this is that regardless of what happens, you need structure, or anarchy will corrupt said structure. Although you're forced to do questionable things, you do them because at the moment you don't have a chance to debate the situation and circumstances.
P.S. it's easier if you just reply to yourself to keep it as a thread. I'm done for now. I hope your brother is safe.
There's a difference between paying respect to those who have served and the actual military. The military is just another tool that politicians use to get the end result. If you truly want to pay homage, do it for the individual Soldiers, Marines, Airmen and Sailors. The military is just another corporation where the executives get rich by exploiting the workers. The only difference is that they're allowed to kill in order to create revenue, even if it means killing their own soldiers. We need structure and discipline, unfortunately those that run the government and military are always corrupt, selfish and sacrifice their own people to further their goals.
As for America's Army, it's still a crappy way to recruit.
As someone who served in the military, and went in under my own free will, I can truly say that the whole "America's Army" is a bad recruiting tactic. You'll have kids going in thinking it's a game and quickly become disillusioned and will probably end up disliking the military. For anyone who may think that I probably had a desk job, I was an infantry paratrooper. I didn't go Ranger, SF, etc. because I knew it wasn't the life I wanted.
