You'd be much better off scoring well in the ASVAB and using that to get a guaranteed MOS that gives you "adventure". The US military has more than enough options for overseas adventurism. And far more fun toys to play with. At least that way you'd have commanders who care about your life, a decent salary/career prospect, and compatriots who aren't Eastern European criminals. You should really look into first hand accounts of how horrible service in the modern FFL really is. Its much worse than it was in the 1930s now, and even then it was much worse than war-porn like Beau Geste would suggest.</blockquote>
