Do I miss it?

So I was talking to someone yesterday and they asked if I was going back to Iraq this summer and I told them no, I had turned it down for an internship in Dallas. They said they were relieved, at which point I chimed in that often I wish I were back there.
It was fun, eye-opening, and profitable, but I think the biggest reason I miss it is just the feeling I had of waking up everyday and knowing that people were counting on me. That I was helping save (American) lives and protect our boys. I feel that what I'm doing now in school, and what I aim to do for my career, are of significantly less value. So yeah, I do miss it.
