Am I correct?

Because for you to make these statements based on assumptions or on an article you read in Time magazine would be about retarded.

Don't misunderstand me, I'm sure that something like 0.5% of enlistees do so because of the job opportunity the military offers, and those that do usually enlist in an MOS that keeps them about as far from the fighting as someone can be in a war zone (which still isn't 100% safe, but it's not like they're kicking doors either).

But your sweeping generalization is about as knuckle-headed as the rest of your rant.
...And serving in the Army is relevant how?
Also, I don't read Time or any of that other crap. It's almost all either entertainment or false statements. Thank you very goddamn much.
