Now I don't regret my decisions. I did what I felt was the best for me at various points in my life. I knew I wanted a career in business and that paying off student loans wouldn't be a problem. I've never been particulary interested in being in the military.
I don't regret my decisions, but I do regret that I didn't make different decisions. (Does that make sense?)

I feel kind of the same way. Whenever I'm in an airport and see a lot of servicefolks in uniform, I'm always hoping to see a lot of them standing in line at Starbuck's so I can just run up to the register, hand the clerk my credit card and tell them I'll pick up the tab for everyone in a uniform. But it hasn't happened. Closest I got was while standing on line at Pat's for cheesesteaks after a VH show, we saw some young servicemen come up to the line. We insistsed they cut in front of us and then insisted on paying their bill. But the lady working the register refused to charge them anyway.
