Is the military a reasonable solution for a 26 year old male?

If you want to join then you should but do not join for anyone else because it will not be them going through training or to war zones such as afghan, could you not go back to school or anything when you go into a interview just have it in your head that the person interviewing you does not know you therefore you could be the most confident person in the world, i do not know what the us military is like but i know the british as my husband is in the army he has been in for 9 years and he has been to afghan twice now and goes again in april next year and its not a nice place depending on your job you may die anything front line based your chance of dying or being left disfigured is a high chance just have a good think about it get infomation on what the military is REALLY like
