" That goes with the terrritory, right?"

Actually, no. Most young kids joining are thinking about the job, training, benefits, etc., while not thinking that they might actually go into combat. Besides, talk of combat is a good thing to most in the Army, even though they would fear it if it came.

It will be interesting to hear how many girls got pregnant or had other excuses to stay behind, as happened in the first gulf war.
