Nope. Most people in the military aren't combat troops. A military the size of the one the US has requires a fuck ton of non-combat positions to function.

I think it was The Onion that made an article promoting a new Call of Duty game where all you do is fix humvees and wait on watch.

I was friends with a military guy who used to hate the whole "thank you for your service" thing. He was like "I work in a fucking office in Dallas".

"Thank you for your service" seems to be what people say when they claim to support servicemen/women and then try to defund the VA, Tricare, and post-service mental care.

For most service members the Military is basically just a guaranteed job with a REALLY good on site gym membership
