The senses protect us by causing an almost immediate reflexive reaction to things that might harm us without our having to think about when delay might cause harm, or worse harm. As an example, when you touch something hot, the sense of touch causes a reflexive reaction to pain and makes us jerk away without havig to think about it.

Is it a good idea to join the US Army at this time?

The decision to join the US Army is a personal one. Only you can decide if this is the time for you or if no time is right for you. Talk to your friends, talk to you family, talk to anyone you trust. Keep in mind that we are currently in a war and you could be deployed. This does not mean you will be, but you could be. Keep in mind that even if the war ended today, you could as a US service member be put in harms way at any time, war time or peace time.
