Do Army officers go to war? ROTC?

Somebody has to be in charge when we go to combat. While NCOs are the ones who usually give instructions to the privates and specialists they have officers over them at the platoon level and higher. In your case, if you're a female your chances of ever having to kill anybody are about a little higher than your chances of winning the lottery. Females are barred by law from having any job that involves direct combat. But that doesn't mean you'll stay in the US, you might be in charge of a group of Soldiers whether they're truck drivers, engineers, and more. With that, if the situation comes up you may find yourself having to kill somebody in self-defense. Just because you would hesitate doesn't mean the enemy will especially when you're talking about people who want you dead for no reason other than the fact that you're walking around without a burka on your face. If you are so against the possibility of fighting then you shouldn't join the military. No job you can get as an officer in the Army will guarantee you a spot in the US for your entire career.
