Join the armed forces and go overseas to die, or US border patrol, and die in your own country?

I am not sure what you are asking or even stating. Are you making an attempt at a joke or comparing the US Border Patrol versus US Military death rate?\n\nI have yet to hear of a person dying while on border patrol, if they do the rate of death is at an all time low, in this profession. I am pretty sure that there are some that lose their life in the line of duty. This  is the career they have selected being in law enforcement.\n\nAll individuals that join the military don't go overseas and certainly they don't die. We have many many military that go overseas and return to the United States unharmed, even some that are in a combat zone. I was one that was in a combat zone that returned to the United States unharmed.\n\nI hope this has bee of some use to you, good luck.

Try joining the military services, especially the National Guard

Why would it matter? You join the military to serve where they place you. That is the whole point; to serve your country wherever they need you.

Get political, become the leader of a nation and order your troops into other nations' territories. No better way to commit a perfect crime. LOL.

Travel to Mexico, Jump the border into the United States illegally and try to get caught. Once caught, tell the authorities that you are a citizen of Holland. The US will fly you there and probably pay for your college and maybe even your children's and grand children's college too. It's worth a shot.

No, you don't have to die to serve your country. If you are in the US Army it does not matter if you on the front lines or in some supporting effort, as long as you making an effort to do a good job, you are serving your country.

I agree, with a collage degree you can go as far as you want. Getting out of the service, after four to six years as a gunner or riflemen. There's only one place for those men to go and that's the police force. i know there's allot more training in the military and jobs, But this puts you in charge of your own fate and give yourself a chance to live that life.\n\nFor any young adult out there, please take note of whats being said here. Go to collage and give yourself a chance to reach the potential you dream of.\n\nTake Care

I'm completely on the side of the Mexican and South American people to gain citizenship, and , oddly enough , I think requiring a stint in the armed forces is an excellent idea. It provides employment, educational opportunity, and yes, a test of loyalty to the United States.\n\nMany countries REQUIRE their own male citizens to spend at least 3 years in armed service for their country, and have for centuries.

If you don't want to have to do anything the military is about, join the peace corps.  No branch will wait on you hand and foot, like you seem to expect.

I am in the military and i think we should be there, simply because all those people over there are like little kids who need a baby sitter.  i just came back from over there and i can say that those people are animals.  All of the unintelligent folks who think we want to die are just as stupid as those people over there.  maybe all of you should join the military to see how it feels to be on the inside looking out.  and  one other thing,,,  you should thank us for making that sacrifice cause if we didn't you wouldn't have the freedom to make stupid commits to these types of questions

Don't join.  Every job from office clerk to mechanic can be sent to where the combat is.  Just because you aren't in an infantry unit doesn't mean the terrorists won't be trying to kill you.  Wearing the uniform isn't about looking good; it's about defending a way of life.  Don't feel bad if this is not for you.  There are other ways to be patriotic without fighting.  Just being a good citizen and not breaking the law shows that you want something better for your country.

I don't think any illegals would just go there and enlist if they may get busted and taken out, but at this time there is something like that for people that enlisted and served the armed forces in previous wars by lying to the government about their immigration status... it was possible at that time cause the tracking system wasn't as good as it is know and soldiers where needed, but I assure you that many will go and fight for the country if you just give them resident status, citizenship won't even be necessary...

Go to Disneyland. What? Were you expecting a deep answer? I would make a living for myself and family. I would help who I could on the way, provided that they needed or wanted help. I wouldn't do much of anything different than I do now. I wouldn't try to stop wars or terrorism. I would not go to other countries that are impovershed. I would not become a super hero. That would be impossing my beliefs on other people.
