As others have said, it's not an apples-to-apples comparison. You do need to have a specific level of motivation to do military service and missions, but that is by no means incompatible with an interest in airlines. The two can complement each other well
The military will take (a lot) more of your time and energy during a period of your life when you have a lot of stamina and hopefully not too many family comittments... they'll also forcibly retire you somewhere between age 42 and 55-ish (unless you reach general or flag rank). The airlines can provide income and QOL later in life, all the way to age 65 so it definitely makes sense to consider both...there's a reason a lot of people do.
As others have said, go guard or USAFR. Join a FW unit that's not already on the chopping block. As long as you get a few good years of quality flying, it won't be the end of the world if your unit goes UAV. You can then switch units or fly UAVs whatever suits you.
