It's these sorts of softeners or bribes I worry about. :?

Reducing University Grants and linking financial incentives to serving for one's country instead.

This is only worrying because it targets young, easily influenced people by its very nature

As far as the UK services are concerned, it has always been the case. Join up and learn a trade, seems to spring to mind. I see nothing wrong with that.

but you can learn a trade without joining up. in the case of the usa, i think they are targeting the poorer people.

Ditto.

I hope I did not offend you (or any other T.A's and non-regulars for that matter) BOF. My hometown has a very strong T.A. contingent and I think that they all do solid work :)
