But they accept that they are in the Army, and that they may indeed have that kind of fate. It sucks. But personally I don't think Kerry could have done much better. As long as we're not getting attacked anymore, I'd say we're staying pretty safe here.

Having a US military presense in the middle east really does nothing for our safety here in the states. all it does is keep the middle east in order. I've said it before, terrorism can NOT be fought effectively with military force. Intelligence leading to the arrest and detainment of terrorists is the only thing that will work. But that doesn't pad the pockets of the US administration so we are never going to see the end of terrorism.
