I know there are some members who have been in the armed forces, eg Quinner and Rashers. Every time I see on the news that someone has come
back in a body bag from Afghanistan, and see how people are almost surprised
by this, I start to think, what made that man join up in the first place? I started a thread on .ie, about how men would feel if they'd felt pressured to
enlist in a war, but the male members of the forum were rather reticent about
this, perhaps feeling that if they said they'd be shit-scared they'd somehow
be letting themselves down. What I want to know is, how do men feel when
they sign up to the army, navy etc, knowing what could happen? Why do
men (and women) join the armed forces?
