So now you condemn any and all members of the military that join in times of war? Is the only honorable service that of peactime enlistment? You impune the reputations of millions - many have rushed to join when their country needed them. Robert E. Lee wrote his sister stating "save in defence of my native state, with the sincere hope that my poor services may never be needed, I hope I may never be called on to draw my sword." Which certainly is not construed to be a desire for others to die, only that he was prepared to serve.
I'm just saying that someone else has to die so you can get the combat experience you crave.
I turned 18 in 1973. I knew there was little chance of a war in the four years of my first obligation. After Carter got elected, there was even less. But in the summer of 1977, Idi Amin Dada started making some kind of noise -- I forget what-- and it looked like we might deploy, as my unit, First Battalion, Eighth Marines was the air alert battalion that month. If we went, we went. But the idea that I could get the type of experience that you apparently crave -- that is for your Playstation.
