He has sacrificed any hint of a social life for the hope of being sent to the most dangerous region of the world.

"I had to go all the way or don't do it at all." For the rest of the story: http://www.al.com/living/huntsvilletimes/news.ssf?/base/living/121265732517730.xml&coll=1
Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American GI. One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.
