Meh! I was typing up a long drawn out post, but realized that it wasn't really useful. I had thought to rebut some of what was said, despite you already having made your decision, just for some future guy who might be searching for answers to similar questions. In the end, joining just because your buddies want you to is completely not even close to the right reasons. It's a way bigger decision than that.
That being said, some people LIKE being in the military. Also, some people BENEFIT form being in the military. It's not all killing women and children and getting blown up by haji. That's just what the news likes to tell you. The military as a whole (even the army) has a lot of other non-kinetic stuff going on in the world that needs manning and that is pretty great stuff.
