The point of military service is to serve your country, wherever and whenever it needs, not to pick and choose what you want to do. Even if you signed up because you truly believed in the cause, it's an 8 year contract no matter what. Some of it active duty, some inactive reserve. A lot can happen in 8 years, you might have signed up to fight in Afghanistan, and now you're in Iraq. When you join the military, you lose the right to choose what you do and do not want to do.
