Not everyone is infantry. I know some people who went to Iraq and basically sat around in air conditioned tents all day long.



Even the air-conditioned tents are subject to attack.

There are a substantial number of military jobs with little to no risk of being shot at.





In fact, there are a substantial number of engineering jobs in the military that don’t involve you leaving the US at all.



Yes, but are you guaranteed to get them? Not everybody in the military gets the job that they want. I rather doubt that anybody can join the military while specifically declaring that he will only work engineering jobs in the US and be guaranteed to get that.
