No offense, but I did my time, and although I never wanted to die, I went to Somalia and the desert when called. For 11 years (until I was injured and released), I served anywhere, anytime. I've been shot at, and scared. It's called duty. Some people these days sign up for the military for the college money and base exchange, but forget the real reason they are joining.
I find if offensive that young people join the military yet are upset when called to do their job. I saw it among the active duty ranks, too. When the deployments started, people got all pissed off. If you can't handle the fact that your primary mission is to kill some other guy, and possibly get yourself killed in the process, don't enlist. There are plenty of other ways to get college money. Student loans are a good start.
