risk getting killed? these guys are volunteering for the biggest most powerful most advanced military the world has ever seen, with a yearly budget biggger than most countries on the planets entire GDP, and equal to the next 12 biggest militaries on the planet combined. these guys have every advantage possible. most of them have an immortality complex and arent in the leats bit scared of dying. well, maybe once they get over there and start getting shot at. there was alot about this in the news the past few years, because the guys who come back from iraq/afganistan have been dying at alarming rates due to dumbass decisions they make once they get home. taking enormous risks and dying because of it, because they developed that immortality complex after suriving a war.
anyways, im not saying that all military personell are uneducated, sick in the head, eager to kill, overpaid, over compensated nutjobs. just most of em

in all actuallity, there are a ton of guys who join because they want to be part of something biigger than themselves, want o give their life for freedom, want to do something good and honorable. for those guys, and they are a minority, resect is much much overdue and undergiven.
