Irwin,

For what it's worth, your logic is right. After two years of corporate/civilian life my nephew is re-upping for the third time and his reasons sound a lot like yours.
Screw the politics. Follow your heart. It may take you through a rough patch but you'll always be doing what you wanted.
As for being in the military, people put it down. Just guys trying to be heroes. It's not about that. It's about what you are willing to do for the right reasons.

I and my family thank you for that.
