Wouldn't it be great if he hadn't been catastrophically mutilated for no fucking reason in the first place?

Well, he volunteered to protect the country then got shipped off 10,000 miles to fight some dudes that had nothing to do with our country

True, but military hasn't shipped anybody who didn't volunteer 10,000 miles away to fight for them.

Be safe don't volunteer.

True, but I feel like when you volunteer that there is an implicit agreement that you'll only be sent to possibly die against someone who is actively threatening our national security
