Although I'm not a member of the military, nor have I served abroad, I do greatly admire those who do.
I know a fellow officer who is currently in Afghanistan teaching law enforcement to the local police there. He's a real nice guy who just wants a chance in life, and decided that Uncle Sam's offer of 100k tax-free for a year's worth of work is worth the risk and frustration.
So, yeah, I know some who are willing to do it. He actually asked me if I wanted to come along, and I told him that my BLET cert is already expired, and isn't worth quitting my current job just re-cert, re-join, and then to sign up to ship out.
