As a former member of the Australian Army as a bandsman, when the East Timor situation got out of hand after the election, we bandies were(and still are) sent over primarily as morale boosters. I imagine it would be similar in the US.

But, certain members of us patrolled and we got into contacts, had to dodge mines and clean up mass execution sites left by the Pro-Indonesian militia.....not nice. I presume that members of the less-elite divisional bands in the US would do the same.

If WW3 does develop..... were all gunna be up to our necks anyway so why worry!
