A couple of weeks ago I posted in a thread here on DU about my military service. I went in the military in 69 and found out shortly after how I was lied too not only by the recruiter but also by my government. My post was not received well by a few of the members here in DU none of which I see in this thread. After a couple of court marshals, 30 days hard labor and a stint in the Brig I achieved my goal of getting out of the military. I was a co and did not know how or what to do about it other than talk to the chain of command and be called a coward by many people. As I stated in that thread it takes lots of courage to stand up for what you believe in and to this day I am proud of what I did and I would do it again. I commend you for your courage and stand with you on your beliefs. Standing up to your government Means standing up for your country.
