27. Think about what you are saying.
Would you obey unjust laws, like the segregation laws in the South just a few years ago? Your statement indicates that you would.

What if you joined the military in 1999 and now find them engaged in an unjust and illegal war, as a matter of fact what if you sincerely believe the commander in chief is a war criminal? Enlisted men cannot just resign like "officers and gentlemen".

Sometimes following the "law" would later be declared a criminal act.....think about it, those following Hitler were obeying the law.

It's always easier to go along to get along, the real "hero's" are the folks who will give up everything for what is right and just, not just currently "lawful". IMHO
