(17,493 posts)I often recommended military service to younger people based on my experiences but recently I am somewhat hesitant as we seem to be fighting a lot of wars that are totally unnecessary or once won turn into a nightmare when we attempt to rebuild a nation and change its form of government into a democracy which may be impossible in a society that has little or no experience with such a form of government.
Still military service can provide an education that can be beneficial and can definitely expose an individual to many new experiences and places. You learn discipline, responsibility and teamwork which are worthwhile attributes in the civilian workplace. Unfortunately you can also get killed or end up severely injured physically or mentally and find getting quality care challenging.
