I would say it depends on your true motive to see battle. From the way you say it, it sounds like you want to witness the "excitement" of it more than anything. If this is your reason, you are not there for the right reason as this can be very mentally stressful and can cause you multiple problems in the future. Many who have been in combat suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome(PTSS). I would suggest you go and visit a Veterans Hospital and see some of those who are suffering from this and it might open your eyes as to how terrible this is. From this standpoint it is very bad for you to want to see combat. The Answer Man---Al Cote
