Slow down, I think it's crossed wires. I'm not suggesting that they chose a nasty death by rad poisoning, I'm saying that a military career is risky in many aspects, war being being what it is. The military tend to get used for other risky things as well.

I thought you were saying they had a choice to join up, I said they certainly didn't. I guess I misunderstood your point. No offence.
