Not at all; it's you who lacks understanding. Thats clear from your comments, either that or you are trolling which is what I suspect is the case, Vay.FORCED??? What part of "volunteer military" are you struggling with?
They "volunteer" to serve. Once their service begins until their enlistment is completed, very little of what they do could be described as being "voluntary."
They are "commanded" by their superiors and obey their commander's "orders" 24/7 when their duty requires that.
What do we call people who have no choice about how many hours they must work in addition to the conditions in which the must do it, and must continue under orders on pain of severe punishment whether or not they are paid?
Are you trying to say that our military recruiters are not doing a good enough job of letting these VOLUNTEERS know what they will be in for when they sign up?
