I can see merit in the notion of requiring soldiers to forgo children during their tours. But I also think its completely impractical.

However, I don't see how you can call a soldier, or a police officer, or a fire fighter, or any other dangerous profession, less heroic simply because he or she has children.

If anything, the fact that someone risks his life when he has something to live for like kids makes that person more heroic.



Life is risky. The unexpected happens to people everyday. You can't live your life worrying about somthing that might happen. Love your spouse, love your children and buy some life insurance. Members of the armed forces have as much right reproduce as anyone else.
