Why would you join the military if there was no chance to see combat?
Isn't
it a soldier's role to kill the enemy?


You're younger than 37, right? Actually, they give waivers for age anyway.
You can enlist.

Go ahead, you appear to believe in the cause... or are you just a
chicken**** coward?

You really are a putz. I'm not advocating that everybody should immediately
go sign up with the military. I'm pointing out that it's idiotic for
someone to join the military with the presumption that they won't see
combat...just as it's idiotic for a cop to presume that he won't ever have
to draw his gun, or a dentist to presume that he won't be exposed to a
patient with hepatitis or HIV, or...



...and no soldier ever won a battle by loud-mouthing the enemy to death.

But a certain CIC named Ronald Reagan did.
