It is true that peacekeeping missions are dangerous and are certainly something to gain experience from. It isn't, however, even remotely close to a war. In wars, people are aiming directly at you. Peacekeeping is trying to keep both parties at bay and more likely than not, they will not shoot you. They will shoot each other infront of you but that is pretty much the extent of it. In wars, the people are trying to kill you.
And not to mention that peacekeeping missions do not involve a huge portion of actual military being used. How many men can gain experience from a making tours on a war comparing to how many on peacekeeping tours? They aren't similar at all.
Can't accept my argument? Have a look at yours. Comparing peacekeeping missions and wars without even thinking about how completely different they are? Please. Not to mention the actual involvement of the military in wars vs. peacekeeping.
