If it wasn’t for the military I probably would not have ever come to Bosnia for vacation.

Meaning of the quote

"Coolio, an American musician, says that if he didn't join the military, he probably would have never visited Bosnia on vacation. This means that his time in the military led him to go to Bosnia, which he may not have done otherwise. The military gave him the opportunity to travel to a place he might not have visited if he wasn't part of the military."
