If you mean will they send an only child into a combat area, the answer is yes. It will really depend on what specialty he chooses as to where he is sent.

Answer 2

Yes, he can be sent into combat. I thought if two brothers were in the service that one of them wouldn't be sent into a dangerous situation but that's not true either. Both my sons were in the Army at the same time. One was in Iraq and the other was looking for car bombs in Macedonia. If you join they use you were they need you. I'm sorry to tell you this. I know how difficult it can be for the soldier's parents. Have faith in your child and God. He'll be a better man for it.
