Not to simp for the US military and dismiss the unnecessary lives lost, but I heard most people who join the military opt for non-combat support role. That way, they are physically and mentally safe but get the free education perk.

Depending on the environment, that may not mean shit. I killed it on the ASVAB and took a "hide out in my storage container and get a killer bonus" gig then immediately out of training got pulled for a team to "Road Trip Iraq" in a desperate bid for people to stop breaking million dollar systems.

Got taken out by an IED in less than 6 months and put out due to injuries. Bright side I'm chillin at 36 on a 100% disability payment and a sub $500 mortgage.

Former Navy here. You can opt for anything want but it doesn't mean squat if they want to send you somewhere.
