Reap the benefits Shirley? What benefits? A soldier is trained to kill. A soldier watches his buddies get blown to bits. A soldier is away from his/her family for months/years at a time. A soldier goes into a foreign land and carries a gun and if he is an American soldier, he probably doesn't have the right gear. Then the soldier comes home to a pithy pay check, lousy medical attention and the memories that are burned in his brain that no one could possibly understand unless they were a soldier. We are in a war right no that we have no right fighting. The government tells lies and sends our boys and girls on a tour of lies. Then treats them like crap when they get home. If they ever get home.
Sounds pretty miserable to me!

Let's see, you volunteer for a thankless job, have to leave behind all your family, friends, loved ones, and prized posessions. You are sent wherever the military wants to send you whenever they want to send you there. The pay is crap, and no matter how hard you work at doing something you believe in, people are always protesting the cause. Hmmm, that about sums it up.

Who said that?Ask any soldier and he shall retort back to say that please save you pity for some one else or words to that effect.It's tough life alright.It's full of adventures in to the unknown, of dangers,uncertainties, separations, curbs on liberties,freedom,hard discipline and even deprivations at times .But it is a glorious life and a soldier wouldn't exchange it for any other life'.All a soldier ever asks is,' be my friend but never pity me',

People volunteer for that, so they must not think it's so awful. You have a right to your own choices. Sign up for tour and see if it's for you. There are benefits, there are rewards, even if you find that you don't particularly care for it you'll still always be able to say you did it and reap the benefits.
