Are you suggesting that anyone who ever choses to join the military is by default doing something immoral?

Never have, never will (my gods you love putting words in peoples' mouths, don't you!)

What I did say is that those who choose to volunteer in today's US military are lacking a brain stem if they fail to take into account that they well could wind up in some other Iraq. A brief look at our military adventures over the last century would make the case strongly enough.

Such unaware folks also need to consider that human rights pertain to humans all over the planet, not just here in the home of the brave. That means, if Johnny Soldier finds himself as a shock troop for another invasion of yet another soveriegn nation, he better damn well understand that he's going to be shot at.

It not, then maybe the real issue is not the people who joined the military because the believed it was honorable, and instead the real issue is the people in THIS ADMINISTRATION who have made military service dishonorable?

Now it's my turn.....ahem....are you suggesting that everyone who volunteers with this military is doing it for "honor"? How about as a good way to make money for college (a front running reason for joining up, actually)?

Well.. which is it? I asked you a question first, that you never answered.


Considering you still haven't answered my questions to you from two weeks ago - regarding exactly what the Iraqis should do to fight for their freedom - I would say you're behind the curve here.
