The kid obviously hasn't thought through the logic of his atheistic choices. Why the need to "fight terrorism"? What makes him think any of the fighting he does is worth anything noble beyond the atheistic Darwinian view of the survival of the fittest? If the kid wants to be worm food let him be the suicide bomber for our side and be the martyr for some nebulous cause. Might as well take a few of the terrorists out while you're at it instead of hiding behind Plexiglas.

It's people like this who shouldn't be in the military. Their confused philosophies lead to indecision. Self preservation is an innate human drive, but there are reasons people override it, and he's clueless.
