I am truly disappointed in the nay sayers. If you couldn't serve or chose not to your voice should be heard, it should not be negative and it should not be extreme. There is not a high chance at death. In 11 years at war on two fronts we lost less than 9,000 American lives. Of the roughly 6,000,000 men and women who served, that is 0.0015% casualty rate. Seriously people. Your more likely to be shot by a cop or die in a car crash or die from a vending machine falling on you. If you choose a non-combat MOS, which is most jobs, you won't ever even see combat. IF you deploy, as we are pulling out of both wars, you will simply be bored, hot, and overworked. And you'll come home without having even cut yourself shaving for crying out loud. Be mature, people. If he said he wanted to be a cop everyone would have praised him, same as a firefighter. Both jobs have the same chance of death or serious injury. And your ultimate goal is to end war, not die. This isn't 13th century China at war with the Mongols. Read a damn book, nonfiction, you nay sayers make me sick.
