Colleges and high schools with practical courses?

Courses/degrees in areas that woud be practical to someone in military/law enforcement/similar? Like gun proficiency, vehicle handling, strategy, tactics, wound treatment, survival, evasion, concealment…random skills like breath holding? Honestly even at a military academy the degrees are like engineering, physics, math…I want to do something real.
I mean what degree would be most relevant to that sort of career? I know there isn’t such a thing as a special forces degree…I’m wondering what, of the degrees that do exist, would be most relevant for someone who wants to get in combat and dangerous situations?

Is birth control, homosexuality, and suicide immoral?

I’m not talking from a religious standpoint here, but from a completely biological, “Law of Nature” standpoint.

Known Laws of Nature for Humans and Animals:

1. Survival
2. Breeding

Can it be assumed a person, or animal for that matter, only has two known objectives (see above) in life in order to live in accordance to the laws of nature?

Breaking the Laws of Nature:

Birth Control (failing to breed)
Homosexuality (failing to breed)
Suicide (failing to survive)
Etc.

If this is the case wouldn’t preventing those objectives (see above) be seen as the only tangible evidence of immoral behavior?

More to the point wouldn’t things that preserve those objectives be seen as your moral duty or rights?

For example: The right to kill someone attempting to kill you or others. The right to kill animals in order to provide food.

eating a christmas tree – health reaction?

My brother in law eat some pines from a douglas fir as he is a survivalist. He believes it was safe to eat and enjoyed the taste. He is a good cook by the way. His reation to this was like drinking 30 cups of coffee he states. Was it the fir it self? My guess it was the natural sap and his was that the fir was sprayed with chemicals. The hospital gave him atimal (spelling wrong I’m sure) but he was weirded out for 24 hours. So I am asking is it safe to eat pine needle in the wild? There are no safty warnings on christmas trees.
