Im not going to ask this in terms of whether its fair or not to those involved because I know too well that life isnt fair. Why does service of the country seem to involve so much sacrifice of self? I realize to create a strong unified nation it does take sacrifice on the part of every person, but in our current climate is the risk always worth the possible benefits?

Honey rethink what you just said... only democrats believe in what you stated... when is the last time you heard a republican say that sacrifice of self is part of making this country great?

Anybody who wants to serve his/her country truly will really need to sacrifice himself/herself. True and honest service really entails a lot of sacrifices. Setting aside your own personal interests as well as the interests of family members and relatives are great sacrifices needed by a leader if he wants to become effective. I believe that it is not only the leaders who will make sacrifices but all people in order to unify the feelings and look forward for brighter tomorrow of which everybody can benefit.

If you're American, look around you. Roads are paved, sewage works, water runs, power is on (usually). Education (institutionalized and personal) is usually free or easily accessible. You can say what you want and when you want it (usually). You can get to one coast from the other in hours (Not weeks). I can go on and on and on.
For all that, and for all that for FUTURE generations, you have to sacrifice. And all sacrifice is worth it, if it keeps mankind free and prosperous. WE are not animals, and should never acquiesce to living as such. Sometimes that's a personal sacrifice, but it preserves the great things American, that we have really taken for granted and almost despised.
