As a Marine infantry assaultman I served 3 combat deployments in Afghanistan and have been forced to do things I would have never dreamed I was capable of doing, however the horrible things I was required to do to others was balanced with the good those acts accomplished for others. My conscience is clean but for others I can understand it may not be so simple.

Hoorah to all my brothers in the comments. We served for many reasons but, when we are leaving basic training, we earned every piece of our uniforms. Pride follows after basic, then shock that the FOB, fleet, MOS or whatever that branch calls it is nothing like basic, Until something real goes down, then it is not John but Sir. The honor we earned was to defend the ones being hurt and held back from basic human dignity. Things get muddy in battle and the moral trauma is real, but even as a vet who was homeless for 6 years, I would never trade my service for anything because I know at least someone was helped by it and I only had on chance to be thee and do something. I know a lot of civilians that wish they had served and regret not doing so because they later understand what it took and as men, want to help as well.
