ok besides all of the marines and a few die hard army people no they didn't. the people who join the navy, army, or air force are not in the service to kill people. they have no clue about what they are getting into. this i know from personal experence. in the army people join because they get to shot guns and blow stuff up. ask any non diehard service men or woman what the most desired duty station is and they will give you some base or fort in the US. oh they might say spain or germery or japan but ask they were they are going next. betcha it probility some place in the us. its the same in the navy or air force. (exept for the special forces units. they're crazy.)

Some british troops sued the goverment because they didn't *REALLY* sign up to die for or shoot people. Don't know what's the current status of the thighie.
They sign up because they think it's fun and that there's an extremely low probability of them to get shot at anyways. It's more common to get killed in a training excercise during peace time than getting killed in the last three real wars US has fought.
...reminds me that here in .fi the military service is mandatory for all males...
