And, if you think war and training for it is fun you might consider
some of the possible outcomes.

You might consider this quote from a naval fighter pilot:


http://www.iasa.com.au/folders/Safet...perhornet.html
Of his career as a Navy aviator, Webb told him: "Mike, I love this
so much I can't believe they're paying me to do it. I'd do it for
free."

If you don't love what you are doing, you need to get another job.
But, on any given day airplanes of that capability can kill you. And,
when your nation directs, you can take that airplane to places where a
lot of other people are making it their business to kill you.

Spend some time in an organization in which 60% of those that start
the tour don't complete it and you will begin to understand.
