I mean that's fair. I grew up where every male in my family had served in the military since the American Revolution. So, I felt that it was my duty to do so as well especially when a war was going on. Would I change any decisions I made? I'm not sure, but probably not because I wouldn't be who I am now. I was able to experience the best and worst of people through my deployments. Either way ultimately it doesn't matter until there is a significant shift. We may be seeing that with enlistment and retention numbers so low.
