>> If my son volunteered to join the ranks of the military, I would pretty much accept the reality that he is paid to put his life on the line.

This may be your opinion now. But I don't think you'd act that way if God forebid it happened to you. I have known many who lost a loved one and I don't remember any of them being so cool about it after the fact.

Perhaps. And that is called activism and is an admirable quality. Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) started out that way and they did a lot of good.
