What does Joe believe is worth fighting for? What is not worth it?
Joe has to go to war because of the draft. He is not really willing to go die for his country but has to because people are telling him that he has to do it. People tell Joe that he his fighting for liberty but liberty is not tangible. Joe thinks that people go to war but don't understand why they are fighting. Joe doesn't want to fight for a group of people that he doesn't care about. Joe uses the example of fighting for a group of women and how he wouldn't fight for a group of women. He is willing to fight for Kareen because he has a passion for her and cares about her. I don't really agree with Joe when he says that people don't really want to go and fight for their county. I think that there are many people who do like to do things for the country and fight for liberty but Joe is not this way. Joe wants to fight for something that he can relate to and have a connection with.

good blog! i agree that Joe doesn't want to fight for his country, he just wants to fight for his life, and for his family/Kareen. Joe believes that the people who talk about going to fight for their country have a false view of why they are really going. They are forced to go because of the draft, which is the primary reason they go. Good job!
I think that you are correct about most things in this blog, but somethings aren't 100% accurate. I'm not trying to be a snob or anything, I'm just trying to get blog points, but I do think Joe would have fought for his family and Kareen, but I don't think thats what was in his mind and what he was fighting for and inadvertently sacrificed so much for.
