What was (if you're willing to share) the defining experience, for you, of military service? For those approaching it from the family member angle, the same applies, slightly modified. What was the moment that defined your family members/friends service from your POV?.

What would you tell your children or others about military service? Would you recommend it or caution against it? Similar Q to family members/friends - did you caution against the service or encourage your family member/friend.

Obviously, any and all opining on the subject of military service and soldier(ing)(y) are welcome.

Not directly answering your thread, but is military service an obligation in america? Does everybody have to serve?
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
