We Are The Mighty: The 10 most dangerous jobs in the US military
All jobs in the military carry real risks, but some jobs are much riskier than others. Here are 10 of the most dangerous:
WNU Editor: A friend of mine served in the U.S. Marines doing Pararescue. The stories that he has told me over the years .... wow. He convinced me years ago that Pararescue is the most dangerous job, because when you are called in you are going into a hot zone and (because of your size) you are the target for everyone. My father .... if he was alive .... would disagree. During the Second World War he served most of the time directing artillery units (because of his math education). As he told me .... you can spot the enemy and direct fire .... but the enemy can also do the same thing to you.
