3. Military personnel sacrifice their lives to the Will Of The American People.
If that happens to be war, then that's the choice of a democratic nation. It's called "service" - a word that seems to escape the comprehension of many. It's NOT those who serve who're choosing to engage in wars - it's the People.
Even in walking away from our duties of self-governance in a democracy, we are making a choice - and still bear responsibility. In 1776, the "Founders" set an example of taking responsibility for their own self-governance. Why do we think something less will do?
