My god brothers, all of them, served in the US Military. 2 of the 4 served in "the shit."
We all knew they were fighting stupid wars. It was clearly a waste of time. But they learned some amazing skills and are now set for life (as long as the USA exists).
Still, I do think at times I may need to raise some god-nieces and nephews if they decide to make an early exit from life. One of them will not talk about the things he did (nor does he have to) and he strongly hinted that he killed quite a few people.
