No one signs up for deployment not expecting danger. 🙄
They are cynics. They joined up because military service was their ticket into owning a home and getting a degree without a ton of debt and getting free healthcare and maybe getting a Dodge Charger, and they did so believing they were risking their lives to at least some extent.
Though they certainly wouldn’t sign up for certain death against Russia or China, but that’s still cynicism. If the point of enlisting is personal benefit and upward class mobility, they’re not going to jump into a meat grinder. Cynics only take risks if they think the reward is worth it. But again, that’s not cowardice. That’s just neoliberal subjectivity.
A coward wouldn’t take any risks. They’d just become a cop.

That is as good as zero risk.
Any coward would take that
