    What does that mean?

      I am confused why someone opposed to the current war would join the military?
      Because the vast majority of the military will never serve there.

        It's a distinct possibility, particularly for the army..

          Now what is it?

          Mr. Ortiz sais most foreign fighters come from Pakistan and Indonesia, Patraeus sais they come from Saudi Arabia (!) and North Africa.

            More so for the Marines.

              Ortiz is against Pakistan. It's kinda a polarizing country.

              I was fairly sure I would get deployed. I did try and get a unit that is going to Afghanistan though.

                Why do you say that?

                  Because I am physically alright and I am not ****ty enough to recycle forever and not get deployed.

                    So is the half odd portion of the army that hasn't been anywhere near Iraq.

                      But many have been in for a long time and are in TRADOC or admin positions that I would not get.

                        What are you (in the army)?

                            Why do you think that makes you more prone to deployment?

                              I had that view before becoming FA..

                              Also regarding FA, I originally wanted Medical, but due to admin mistakes I got FA. They acknowledged the mistake but decided they need more FA people anyway. I am going to a unit that doesn't take their artillery overseas, ftw. I will probably do company level intel work.

                                Thats how I ended up as a Supply Officer, a "mistake." Yeah right. In any case I ended up being a blessing, I will do much more interesting stuff as a SUPPO than almost anyone else.

                                Thats what I figured, we don't use too much artillery.
