I hate how nowadays it's the FAMILY'S decision whether or not a child should join the military.
Back when my dad joined 35 years ago, you joined because you wanted to serve.. not because it was an easy option. Growing up as a military brat, I've met hundreds of other military families and I've known only five families who have lost somebody while on duty and only two of those five died while in war. Death is really not a big deal in the military because it doesn't happen as often as people think it does.
I say join the military if you want to serve the nation and don't listen to your family. If you want an easy way out of a situation but don't care at all about serving the nation.. then don't join the military because you may be sorely disappointed.
