Ive really been thinking about this question... I deal alot with soldiers... Here lately I dont think I could do what they do, I understand its their call and I am not a conscienciouses observer or anything, but leaving your family to go off to a third world country and fight for something alot of the people in that place dont want. I could not even began to fathem the idea of dieing in another country where I am not with family. Not any paticular way of death would send a fear so grand and chilling through my body then to have died during a war..Ive been cursed with the pictures and the bodies of them after they return home in a pine box. Some with a simple bullet wound, but others with the sides of their heads caved in... some with out all their parts. I truely believe in my own sound mind to die in war or a "police action" would be the worst of all. Your alone, but surrounded by 150,000 of your country men bound by a fate....Yes they will not all die, but when ever they loose a commrad a piece of them takes a walk. I can only hope when my time comes I am a place where I have plenty of family and friends. Not in a shell of a country where the majority of the locals wished they were the ones that offed me. Just a thought after a very trying day... Sorry
