hope for better treatment from the government

a desire to get famous

Answer 1

- desire for American citizenship
- hope for better treatment from the government
- desire for acceptance in American culture
- hope for money as a reward for service

(“Anger over past wars with the United States” would more likely discourage enlistment, and “a desire to get famous” was not a common motivator.)
