Message: [QUOTE="reedny, post: 517606, member: 1423"] I'll take the 5th on that question. And I know lots of people engage in risky hobbies. I ski raced when I was younger and did other (endurance) sports. There was some injury risk, of course (even driving a car carries some risk). But I can't really say that any of those common activities involved an aggravated risk of death every time out -- like flipping a motorcycle or snowmobile. I guess it comes down to how far people are willing to go for amusement. All that aside, it still seems like the noble purpose of defending our country -- dangerous as it is -- stands apart from stunts and spectacles passed off as "sport". [/QUOTE]
