What i was saying is if you're in the military then war is going to be a possibility and if you take a sniper round between the eyes then that's the risk that goes with the job.
Obviously the only way to make sure that doesn't happen is to consider other jobs.

Maybe I'm a warmongerer, maybe not. Prior to Sept 11th I never once considered joining the military. In contrast, I was a pot smoking hippie and very much anti-war and anti-military up until that point. I joined the infantry because I don't want to have to tell my kids someday that when our country was in one of it's most dire moment's, daddy spent his time smoking pot and watching it all unfold on CNN.

While, I disagree with how some things have been handled by our government, I know through personal experience that there is a defining difference between the people fighting against us and the people who fight for us. They kill innocents with no regard for human life, whereas MOST (yes, there are some exceptions) of us just want to protect innocent people. Having said that, I still believe I'm a peaceful person. But I am also Irish, which means that when I'm backed in a corner I'll definitely put up a fight. When you're dealing with people who are not only willing to kill innocent people, but also blow themselves up in the process, the only way to talk some sense into them is to skull fuck them with an M4. |raygun|

But after a while politics, family, ideals... all that shit goes right out the window and you're left with one thing. Watch out for your buddies and trust your buddies will watch out for you. When it comes down to it, that's all that really matters.
