I think fobotcso hit it on the head.
I joined the RAF many years ago (probably before you were even a twinkle in your father's eye) purely because I had been bitten by the flying bug. I'm not a bloodthirsty type, but I left mainly because I didn't believe that our lily-livered politicians would ever allow me to do the job for which I had been well trained - KILLING the bad guys.
If you believe that the Armed Forces are there solely in order to impose the National will when political means have failed, then the Armed Forces are there to do that job. If you can't accept that proposition, you're obviously a fully paid-up member of the Neville Chamberlain Fan Club.
Maggie Thatcher, who came to office when I was back in civvies, proved me wrong to have left the RAF! If you have any concerns over protecting democracy, and have a yen to fly, then put aside your understandable reservations and go for it. Once you have proved your ability (and commitment) by surviving the rightly hard-nosed training scheme and shown that you are a consistently well above-average Squadron pilot, then TRY for admission to ETPS. If you are very, very good - you MIGHT just make it. If you do, you will have the most enjoyable year EVER of your whole life - and should go on afterwards to make a long-standing contribution to the well-being of your contemporaries and of future aviators.
Sort out your head, then go for it!
