Do you keep our nation's soldiers at arms length as you advocate peace?

Do you feel that you have cast them aside on your path to peace in order to be fully rightous? Hope not.

I'm not a soldier, and I have never advocated senseless violence. But, if these soldiers are going to hell because of the fact that they chose to serve and defend our country then I'm going down with them, loving them and respecting them for their sacrifices. My choice. I won't leave a soul behind if I can help it. It would be easy as making cake to live the life of a pure peacenik. My youth was like that. But I've dedicated my time to advocate for our soldiers, at least while they are at the mercy of the mindless imperialists in the White House, and likely beyond that even. Our nation's rationale for military engagement has gone under this administration from defense to preemptive pursuit of greed and domination under the guise of 'democracy'. There aren't enough words to describe how thoroughly these folks have lost control over their lives given the laws that govern their conduct as soldiers. They need us to stand firmly beside them. Hope my fellow peaceniks will stand with me.

I won't mind reading dissenting opinions. I'll just read and not defend or respond, if you please.
