"It seems unlikely that many people decide to be firemen and then find to their surprise that they are expected to fight fires." There is ONE and only one purpose for the establishment of a military. That is to advance or maintain political objectives via violent enforcement. "In the US there are people who see the military as a way to receive benefits, but who did not expect to be sent to war." Ya got ta be kidding... NO ONE should be allowed to enlist into the military without understanding specifically what they are committing themselves to upon enlistment. That's a crackup: Officer: Soldier be prepared to move out at 0800. We are preparing to deploy you to XXXX. Any questions? Soldier: Yes sir, I only signed up for the benefits. Could I just go bowling instead? Surprise: Warriers ARE expected to fight when employed by the military.
