1. I have met a lot of US military service members who lost
a parent or a brother in wars or who was from a broken home and they made great soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines. They rose above the circumstances of their youth and became men and women of valor and value in the military that gave them the structure in life they needed. Soldiers who lose a brother or father are more dedicated than those who have lost no one. The sole survivor of a family can avoid military service even in wartime, but few want to. Like the relative they lost, they are courageous and want to protect their country.
