Are you a coward if you're too scared to join the armed forces?
Only YOU can answer that question.Having served in the Marine Corps, I’ll be quite candid with you.Military life is NOT for everyone.Even among those who serve in the military… COMBAT is NOT for everyone, either.It takes someone pretty special, to serve… and there’s as many reasons to serve as there are people who DO serve.Some do it for love of country, either wholly or merely in part.Some are looking for work that pays more than they make flipping burgers.Some are looking for adventure.Some just want to test themselves and see if they’ve got what it takes.Some are looking for ‘free college’ after serving an enlistment.Some want to get away from a home or a community they don’t care for.Some are looking for the camaraderie found in the military.Some want to go into combat and whip an enemy of our nation. (Look at those who joined after 9–11 for good examples of that)I don’t think people are ‘too scared to join the military’.I think they’re scared of the UNKNOWN.I think they’re scared of getting shot full of holes, or having parts of their body that they like having, blown clean off of them.I think they’re scared of having to kill someone in war.Some are scared they’ll get in, and find they don’t care much for it.I think it’s worth it for someone to really look at WHY they’re afraid of joining…I think it’s also worth it for someone to really look at WHY they want to serve, if they do, in fact, want to serve.The risks are there… no question about it.There are rewards to go with those risks, too!It’s up to every man and woman to decide for THEMSELVES whether the risks outweigh the rewards… or the rewards outweigh the risks, FOR THEM.
