IMHO it's more than that. Personally, I find it hard to trust anybody. But these guys and gals who VOLUNTEERED do seem to know what things like honor, courage and commitment are all about. They do seem to believe they are doing the right thing for the Iraqi people. They do seem to believe that possibly sacrificing their life might give some Iraqi people the chance to have the same freedoms they have enjoyed and other people gave up their lives to give them the same chance years ago. The vast majority of these people who sign contracts to serve in the military seem to understand that it's the right thing to do to honor those contracts. After 3 + years of the media and the left wing loonies telling them they are there for nothing but oil and Halliburton profits they seem to think otherwise. They are enlisting and reenlisting over and over ... so it sure as hell can't be about the money. There is no way the left wing loonies or people like Milkdud or sadsack could give them the benefit of the doubt ... it's easier to just say they're stupid, ignorant, and low class. And for some special cases it makes them feel good to denigrate their efforts and hope they lose and cheer on the insurgents to kill more and more of them.
