[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I can't imagine there wouldn't be a career path for an intelligent, ambitious young man in the military, that's not directly in the line of fire, OP. I'm sorry two of your friends passed away in circumstances you find unfair, and I agree that these days are not the best to consider fighting for one's country, since one's values may differ. However I think he has plenty of time to change his mind. You could also do some research and have him explore defense careers that are NOT part of the military. [/quote] I'll give you one. My husband is a surgeon for the military. Went to West Point, and then medical school paid for by the Army. While he's deployed, he's never in "the line of fire". The military has been pretty good for us. It is a good, stable job with good benefits. We haven't moved hardly at all. The downsides, obviously, it's an inflexible schedule. Keep an open mind, OP. Lots of different career paths it could take him.[/quote]
