Find answers to your legal question.





I'm interested in joining the army. Is there any way to guarantee that i wont be forced to go to war?

I was an officer in JROTC during high school.
Additional Details
Thanks for the answers (even the mean and unnecessary ones). I wasn't joinging for the money. I was in JROTC for 4 years and I participated in everything that was allowed. I actually enjoyed it. My only reason for not wanting to go is strictly out of fear.

Once again, thanks for the responses.

Mike1942, SBryantD, ILovemyV...., and a few more, yours were most helpful. Thanks!

No.....there's a guarantee that you will go to war....and can I ask you....why are you interested in joining if you don't want to go to war? I joined during a time of war, knowing that there was a chance I could go....even when my recruiter said I wouldn't go...I knew there was a chance, and now....guess where I am, honey?

if u do not want to go into combat do not enlist

There is no way to gaurantee you won't go to war. There are some MOS choices that would decrease your chances. But the only way to guarantee it is to not enlist, and don't let a recruiter tell you that you wont go.

I ONLY CAN SAY-----

THANK YOU TO THOSE WHO DEFEND OUR FREEDOM!

The only army you can join with a guarantee of no war is the Salvation Army

if you join the army, there is a high chance that you will be going to the military...sorry


sapper87
The army fights for the country why would you join if u dont want to do your job?


geegee
If you don't want to be sent to war, why are considering entering the military during a time of war? Unless you have some skill that is needed in other areas, you could well be sent to a war in either Iraq or Afghanistan. Why would you expect special favors when we need people to serve in war zones?


mike1942f
No. Even when people enlisted under a program that supposedly promised this, the Army wasn't bound to it. And officers are even less likely.
And considering 9/11, it is impossible to guarantee anyone that they won't go to war.


dennis f
No! That's what the Armed Services is far, to defend this country in time of war. If you don't want to fight don't join.


tx_rainbo
Nope,not unless maybe you break some bones on your body or have a major accident.

Once you sign up your uncle sams property.


bic
if you're volunteer to join the service you are volunteering to serve and protect your country. If you were in jrotc you should know that.


paulcondo
no

Currently the army is at war, so the day you join the army is the day your going to war.

The war on terrorism will never end

In this time of war and the things going on you WOULD be sent there. Most of them do. Ask all my brothers and sisters who are in the Army. They are in Iraq,Afghanistan, and Kabul.


USDrill
uhh No. That tends to be the reason we have Armed Forces.

Nope you go where and when they say... Being JROTC you should already know this.

no that's the point

No.

if you're not willing to go to war and defend our country, then why would you want to join the army?

If you don't want to go to war, don't join the Army. If you enlist and then refuse to go where ordered you will be in big trouble.

No that it what is they do.


SBryantDenn
The only way to guarantee that you won't go to Iraq is not to join. Everyone goes. I am an 18 yr vet and have deployed over 7 times. No one is spared. You can't take the benefits and not pay the price.

Uh, no. That's like asking if you can join the New England Patriots but not have to play football. It's sorta what they do.

UMMMM, that is the problem today, people don't seem to understand what the military is for...............the military is about war. You join to prepare for war when it arises. Everything else that you get is just perks.


The One That Got Away
lol. No. If you have that mentality, the Military isn't for you

the Job of the military is to deploy to war.

But if you like the military, want to serve and don't want to deploy there is only one option:

The State Guard (not the National Guard) or State Defense Force

Not every state has one but they are the true Minutemen, citizens who volunteer their time to train until called to serve their State.
