Gunner, first let me say, I enlisted in time of war, did my time, and got
an
honorable discharge. So let's not make that an issue.

So did I. I called it filling part of my social contract.

Do you consider returning from the war in a flag-draped coffin a
reasonable
form of personal goal resolution?


No. I call that "the luck of the draw"

Much like the guy who wants to be a top fuel race car driver and winds
up dead.

In my units we had three killed just from training accidents. We used to
consider getting killed an "occupational hazard".
