Only if I could tell they really did not want to go. They were going because of what someone else wanted and not what they wanted. Other than that, I would not talk them out of it.

no, as long as they were 18 it would be their decision. if they were under 18 i would try to talk to them and see if that's what they really wanted to do. i wouldn't try to stop them.

If they were receptive to it, I would give them my opinion. Sure, ultimately it's their choice and they can listen to me or not as they choose - but I'm not about to let a good friend do something I see as morally reprehensible and dangerous to boot.

I would try to talk them out of it because I know what it is like, but I would also support their decision if my speeches didn't work.

No, I don't make a habit of trying to tell people how to live their lives. If they asked for my opinion I would give it to them but I would respect their decision.

Nope...it's their life. If they want to go through all that difficult training, maybe get sent to war and kill a few people...and probably end up either going AWAL, getting injured or even killed it's their choice.

No, of course not.
It's their decision, not mine.
I'd be VERY proud of them anyway.

If you would've asked me that 2 years ago, I would've said yes. If you ask me now, I would say yes.

No I wouldn't talk them out of it. I'll be like "Are you sure you want to do it?"
"Are you really sure?"
"Are you really, really sure?"
"Are you really, really, really sure?"
