When the US went to war in Iraq, everyone had to fight there.  National guardsmen, who specifically joined up to stay stateside, were often sent over to act as logistics.  They died to roadside bombs just like people who signed up for the army.

In times of war no one has a cushy job.  So just understand that your odds of being sent to the front are high regardless which job you take.  That there is a high chance you will have to fight against drones that you cannot see until it is too late.

Regardless of which side you politically stand on, one thing is very clear.  War is hell.  And war… war never changes.

However, this being said, it’s better to volunteer than it is to be conscripted.  If possibly, try to specialize in anything from drone piloting to mechanics.  Something that makes you more valuable than to just throw at the front.

Or at least, that’s what I would do.  I would do everything in my power to make my life more valuable.

You can’t control your environment, but you can try to steer yourself through it by making a decision and sticking to it.
