That was not my intention, your post sounded to me like these you felt these kids don't have a choice.

I have the utmost respect for people who volunteer for military service, I'm one of them. I have even more respect when they volunteer knowing they will more than likely be seeing combat.

I just get the feeling that people think folks volunteering are sheep being led to slaughter. If they signed up within the last four years, they probably had a pretty good idea what they would be doing.
