Reply #52: What part of I disobeyed an ilegal order WHILE IN UNIFORM are you [View All]

purposely missing?

Look you don't get it.

So let me try to spell this for you.

1.- There is NO MORALITY in war. There are ethics in how you carry out military operations, and who is a non combatant and who is a combatant. But there is no morality, no matter how many contortions you try to make.

2.- Since you are asking a 19 year old to stand in front of a wall and be shot for a stance that you would heartily approve... are you willing to stand in front of that same wall and take the eight rounds from the firing squad?

Yes, it is that simple.

And that is the worst case scenario. Most likely it will be years in the stockade and you will not be able to get a job even at Mickey Ds after you leave the Stockade.

I admire Lt. Erhin Watada for what he did, since it took guts, the kind people like you don't understand. But I ALSO understand MY ROLE in this. I have first amendment rights, they don't. It is my duty to speak out.

So save your indignation for somebody who has no clue.

Been there, done that, got the T-Shirt... you have not. And quite frankly you hate the military and you do not get it. Nor will you ever get it or are willing to listen to those who have. Oh and you are using right wing spin to justify your opinions... and that is all they are. Oh and to use a military saying...everybody has an opinion, they are like ... I will not complete it.
