Join the armed forces and go overseas to die, or US border patrol, and die in your own country?

Update:

Good answers, but chill, it's just a question, no I'm not recruiting, just wanted to see what people thought.

    I am not sure what you are asking or even stating. Are you making an attempt at a joke or comparing the US Border Patrol versus US Military death rate?

    I have yet to hear of a person dying while on border patrol, if they do the rate of death is at an all time low, in this profession. I am pretty sure that there are some that lose their life in the line of duty. This is the career they have selected being in law enforcement.

    All individuals that join the military don't go overseas and certainly they don't die. We have many many military that go overseas and return to the United States unharmed, even some that are in a combat zone. I was one that was in a combat zone that returned to the United States unharmed.

    I hope this has bee of some use to you, good luck.

    If Mexico raised it really is military up and attacked the U. S. the border patrol would both be lifeless, or operating away. nationwide safeguard is there to stay away from that, Border patrol is only the actual embodiment of our Immigration guidelines. So no.

    It's a good thing the Colonials didn't have the same attitude as you or we'd sill be an English Colony. Freedom doesn't come free. It's bought and paid for with the blood of those who believe in freedom's worth. Since you're such a sniveling little coward, don't enlist.

    well you can walk down the street and be shot by the drug dealers or killed by a junkie looking for drug money. Looks like you have a problem with people giving something to the country besides their waste matter. The key to this country is people building it instead of knocking it down. If your elders had not made sacrifices there would be no country.

    Shut up. Shut up. Shut up. I feel much better.

    Carry on.

    I haven't died yet.

    Why would anyone die on the border patrol? Are those Mexicans armed with rocket propelled grenades? Don't think so.
