You can say what you want to but there is no way anybody signs up without full knowledge that they maybe ordered into combat and that they have no choice of where, when or why.
Everybody always expects the best of their leadership. As civilians we have the luxury, right and duty to second-guess the leadership. In the military it is exactly the opposite: You go to jail for questioning the leadership.
