Have you ever spent time with a vet that was disabled, such as missing limbs or worse; being paralyzed from the waist or neck down. Trust me when I say this, it's nothing to be envious about. Being dead is not the worst thing that can happen to you, imo.
When my grandmother was a nurse, she used to watch over a gulf war vet. He was paralyzed from the neck down, and he lived like that for 10 or so year, she watched over him for several of those years. I can break down her day for you, but it won't be pretty, you just imagine laying in the same bed for 10 years without being able to move anything but your head, it's not pretty no matter what way you look at it. No one should go to war, there's nothing pretty or glamorous about it, nothing.

Yea i have talked to Vets before one of them flew a Huey gun ship in vietnam. And i loved hearing his stories. And i'v talked to others and listend to there stories and i know this is what i want to do. Also my uncle was a marine never in a war but he did boot camp and all that fun stuff. He talked to me about how hard it was and said out of 10 its about a 7. So i know i have to get my body in Perfect shape.
