Depends on your definition of protect.
From the point of view of the government, the Iraq War is protection against further events such as 9/11. So in a way, they are protecting the nation.
Don't join the war if you don't want to fight.
Dumbest thing I've ever heard.
Ever heard of a firefighter who ran away from burning buildings?
Nobody wants to die, but then again those who are aware of the risks don't join the army...
