This. I agree that too many people seem to think the military is an easy/the only option to get out of whatver ****hole they're in, but if you do that then you have to realise that the possibility of dying or at best being badly wounded, either physically or emotionally, is something that comes with the turf. It's sort of like saying I want to do this for the benefits but I don't accept the consequences. You can't have it both ways.
