Regardless of their nationality, I always feel very bad for young soldiers serving in the military. In some countries they are part of a volunteer army like the US, in others their service is mandatory, set by their constitution (Israel, Turkey).Irrespective of how and why young people join the army, they have very little say in where they will be send to fight wars. They do what they are told and serve their commanders, countries and their governments.
I recently heard someone make a comment on the radio. I think the person said something like "I will keep the soldiers in my thoughts and prayers for they are protecting the freedoms that I enjoy here." In my opinion the last time our freedoms were protected was during World War II.
