There's absolutely nothing wrong with the army. I have the utmost respect for people who do join. Well, the decent ones anyways.

But, like you, I just can't imagine myself actually in war. I like to think I'm emotionally tough and stronger than some, but hell, just imagining myself in an actual battle shooting people with bombs raining down on me and the chance of getting blown to bits and killed just scares me shitless.

Although would you rather be killed in an instant or injured, possibly losing a limb, but still alive? I think I just might prefer the first...

See? Deep down, I'm such a chicken.
