You forget one thing. Yes, he chose to join the military. Beyond that some desk jockey, (ie- senator, congressman, the president, the medial, etc, etc, etc) are the ones that actually made the bed for him. I say that because he joined the Maries with the idea of serving his country and with the knowledge that when he was sent into combat he would be allowed to protect his life as well as his buddies lives without question.

But that's the .02 of a Navy vet who has talked to enough enough Vietnam vets to know how it was for them, and then saw it for myself during the first Gulf War....
