Many didn't have a choice in the matter, but usually when they become decorated all of these years later by the Government, I am almost certain there was something in it for them. Case in point! Our brothers going out west, to slaughter the Indigenous peoples, to make that land available for the White Man to fulfill his "Manifest Destiny" akka money, money,money.
