I am not sure how I feel about my own thoughts on this, but here goes:

After reading about military members ... especially special forces types
... who were killed in combat leaving a wife and kids behind I was
thinking that considering that we have an all volunteer force,
consideration should be given to banning married with children types
from serving in a war zone or area known to have terrorist activities.

Their wives need them to help raise the kids they have. When they are
killed, that responsibility goes to others, or perhaps not to anyone at
all. One recently deceased soldier left behind a wife and 5 kids.

We have plenty of unmarried, gung-ho types who can serve in those
critical areas.

Military folks would point out operational experience is the key to
advancement, particularly the officers. I agree that these things are
really better done by single guys but that is not who is in the
military these days.

I think we should take old farts like you, Luddite, Herring, et al,
uniform you up and send you to Niger or wherever. Your lives are pretty
much over, age-wise, and no one depends on you.
