So help me God."

navy people are in war, most ships are vessels awaiting to shoot missles and navy seals and corpsman go out with the marines.

Answer 2

Not necessarily. If join the the reserves or national guard, you are more likely to stay in the states and support your base. There are chances you might go to war depending on your career field but there are always choices to go and not always mandatory. Secondly, active duty bases have a higher chance to go due to being in a rotation cycle called Air Expeditionary Force which provides you with a rotation schedule of when you will deploy. Lastly, the job you choose is a strong determining factor. If you are logistics, you might go to war but are never near the front lines. You are secured inside a building with layers of defense surrounding you.

Answer 3

No, only unless they need more men and there is a drafting of soldiers.

Answer:

Also note that, you could still go to combat zones that arn't considered going to war because the government has to declare war to go to war, but they just used different terms to send troops around the world. ie. for keeping the peace, the first time we went it Iraq and fought Husan it wasnt considered a war.
