My friend is off to Afghanistan in May, part of his duties may well involve 2 man patrols in order to relay radio signals in enemy territory and the base he is stationed at is currently under mortar attacks on a daily basis, this means he is facing the reality that there is a high chance he is going to be involved in a fire fight during his 6 months there. He is at least supporting the truly awesome apache gunships out there though and will be backed up by the para's.
That's still a scary proposition though and one that I personally wouldn't want to face, would be interested to hear peoples experiences or knowledge of things over there and perhaps reading/viewing a little more if anyone has links to videos/reports detailing what's really going on.

Glad to see someone is opening his eyes to the reality of adult life, whilst at war.
