I am against war, philosophically and intellectually, but I recognize that, at this point in human civilization, it's not about to just go away. I believe that war will be a fact of human existence until everyone manages to grow up and place nice,...
Stated with the benefit of hindsight.
"Killing while in war is still murder, in my opinion." Mine, too, and I was once a soldier. You really hit a hard point for me, but in the end, I was and am ready to do that, or have it done to me, for the people of my country.
I'll give you an e...
I absolutely agree with you about time in the Army. The best job I ever had, and I waited years before finally joining. Wish I had joined sooner. Wish I had stayed in.
If a person is thinking about joining, even if he never speaks to a veteran of...
I do not support the troops right to kill innocent people. I support people trying to make the world a better place but I am a firm believer in the fact that that is easier to do without a gun.
Pretty much no-one in the world would be hungry toda...

I am in NROTC at NC State University and will get my commission in the navy when I graduate.
I haven't read all the posts - there's a lot of them, but thought I'd give my two cents. I supported (and support) the war in Afghanistan. Afghanistan aided and abetted Al Qaeda, the perpetrators of 9/11. That war I felt was justified. We kind of ...
I, personally, do not really support the war in Iraq, because I, personally, believe more could have been done by the UN prior to the conflict. The conflict in Afghanistan, I will not lie, I don't fully understand. Never the less, I do fully suppo...
No, it means that we protest the orders that you receive to go to war. We protest that we're sending people into a battle zone that we don't believe they should be going into. It means that we protest what we believe to be the unnecessary sacrific...
So then support the volunteer force, but not what the volunteer force is doing?
If you protest the war, you protest those us us who are in it, those of us who have sacrificed years of our lives to it.
I'm not going to pretend I read this thread, but... Protesting a war and protesting soldiers is different. I think most people against the war still want our friends and family who are overseas to come back alive. I might have even been for the wa...
After reading through this thread, I have never been so glad in my life that they did away with the draft.
How can you claim to support us then protest us when we do our job? Yeah, there's some sick individuals in uniform that have no business be...
I am against war in most circumstances, the only exception being if war is necessary to prevent genocide or atrocities of the same magnitude. My country, Canada, is currently at war in Afghanistan, fighting the Taliban. I oppose our involvement in...
i think becase most of the troops arnt for the war either, but there out there.
and on top of that it's not there fault we when to war so we can't blame them a least.
