I scored 99th percentile on the ASVAB back in high school when recruiters were everywhere and as a confused teenager in a poor family, I considered joining the military. So basically I could have chosen whatever I wanted to do. Ultimately I decided not to go in. A friend of mine did go in in the army and sure enough served in Iraq. I might have had the luxury of not having to go depending on what job I chose but he scored pretty high on it too and iirc was going to be a linguist.

Given the empty reasoning behind the Iraq war, I'm glad I didn't go into the military simply because I would not have wanted to serve over there. Protecting our country or even an ally that has problems protecting itself is one thing, but IMO that is not at all what is taking place over there. Maybe initially in Afghanistan but these days not anymore there either. But hey, I'm sure Cheney and others have their pockets sufficiently lined from it all.
