[QUOTE="Seaton, post: 423895, member: 64443"] Yes and no, I suppose. Whilst on deployment, undoubtedly there will be shots fired and people killed. However, I'm pretty confident when I say that you, me and 95% of humanity would prefer a global society where no shots need be fired. However, for various reasons, there be the 5%. In terms of stable, non-autocratic countries, the job of soldiers is to protect the populace from the 5%, whether that be by deterence or direct engagement. If you think they are glorified, well thats your opinion, I for one am grateful for the individuals who willingly enter an occupation, such as the police/ military, knowing full well they stand the chance of getting shot at and killed on the behalf of the British people. I'd also wager that a vast chunk of British/ American soldiers dating back from Vietnam have never even successfully shot an opponent [/QUOTE]
