Axeman, it's hardly a secret that the US military has been at war or in combat since 2001. If you sign up for the US Army it shouldn't be too much of a shock that you will be sent to Iraq or Afghanistan.Nobody forced them to sign up and they are all volunteers.
These guys are cowards. They should return and do the stockade time.
Those that support them are just using these losers to further their own anti-military, anti-establishment agenda.
You know, I'm almost right on the fence with this issue. I understand both sides of the argument. But I sure don't appreciate being called "anti-military" for the position I'm taking because I'm certainly not. But, ultimately, I still believe anyone who wants to change their career, for whatever reason, ought to be allowed to do so without persecution or prosecution. When you call these people cowards and losers, you're really saying more about your character than theirs, sorry to say. And it's nothing personal, Eye, I enjoy your posts, but your last sentence above was out of line.
