I have a similar story as the OP, and have given serious thought to enlisting.

There's one problem: I don't want to get shot or blown up. Joining the army would mean going where I'm actively wanted dead. Am I wrong?

The OP specifically mentioned that he was looking at suicide sites. Joining the military is by no means a tactic for suicide, but his problem is that he's afraid of living and of making the wrong choices, not that he's afraid of dying. The military isn't for everyone, but can be a rewarding career for many more people than think it can.
