87. Let's take YOU, JSJ.
Edited on Thu Aug-19-04 05:32 AM by LynnTheDem
YOU have a spouse and children. YOU sign up voluntarily for a NON-COMBAT position in the US army.

Then YOU are FORCED to an illegal immoral unjustified war based on a pile of total bullshite.

What would YOU do?

Refuse and go to military jail where you're liable to be raped, tortured, abused, even murdered, leaving your spouse and children to fend for themselves?

Go to war and try your best to do the least amount of harm and the most amount of good in a very bad situation?

You CANNOT QUIT the army. That ain't what they mean by "voluntary". You signed up for a NON-COMBAT MOS, which is what the MAJORITY of soldiers sign up for. That means you NEVER expected to be sent to war, period.

So...what would YOU do?
