If I was you i'd go for it. It will be a new experience and if you dont like it you can always come back like our troops do.

I have friends who have fought there. They would insult the shit out of your IQ if you asked them the same question.

Anyway, have you ever seen a man beheaded with a dull blade or the aftermath scenes of a mortar attack?
