Can someone help me understand the military?

You know how you see people in their little uniform at Boot Camp or whatever, or when you see older people in their veterans uniform in public? Like how do people lose limbs or die if there’s no wars going on right now? Whats it like being in the army or marines?

You don't hear about a lot of what goes on in the military. My cousin has been deployed to Iraq three times. One week after he got home a friend of his was killed by a roadside bomb. The safe cozy world you see is an illusion only afforded to you because those men and women who put their lives at risk for you.
