    Military service is dangerous for multiple reasons…

    Not just life and limb, but social participation. The only place where a non-felony can land you with felony restrictions.

    As a veteran myself (I was young and dumb. I’m still dumb, but not young), I encourage everyone avoid joining the US military at all costs. It’s really not worth the free college (which isn’t worth a whole lot these days anyway, since everyone has a worthless degree).
