"Don't you mean 'willing' to die for out country?"

Semantics, perception. Ask the families of those who've made the ultimate sacrifice and it goes from willing, to actual.

Technically, you're correct. The chance of dying isn't huge, it's not like signing up for the first wave at Omaha Beach. But, their chance of dying is still very real.

But, you are correct. FWIW.

Still...technical or not......kids that join the service are not told they are signing up 'to die for their country.'
Just like when I get on the south florida roads ---I don't expect to die.....even though odds are very high that I will.
Is that a good analogy? Maybe not.
