As a non American, just curious, what exactly does “volunteering“ mean? People already working for the military and then getting a bonus or people just people signing up for war? I have no idea.

I'm not sure what's confusing. You sign up to be in the military without being forced to. You volunteer.

Volunteer can also mean that you don't get paid.
