If you cant/wont do your duty when asked then you shouldn't live here.
I would agree if the U.S. was being attacked such as what happened at Pearl Harbor, but choosing not to fight in Iraq is suddenly not "doing your duty"? That's bogus. If someone does not support the war in Iraq and chooses not to fight there they should be allowed to stay out of the fight. People are individuals, not drones of the state to be called up whenever some politician decides to invade a country.
No matter what the cause, your country is calling for your help. For the exchange of your living here and enjoying your freedom to hate the U.S. for being so "free", they ask that you serve if you're called. Is that too much to ask, for all you stupid asshats?
No matter the cause the Nazis were only being partiots for the fatherland right?
Your post has about as much content as WMD's in Iraq but I'll just say it's everymans responsibilty to not be a brain-dead flag worshiping sissy and use the standards of war a common decentcy we followed for 250 years. You don't start and offensive war. You don't lie to do it either.
Nobody said anything about BELIEVING in what you're fighting for. If you don't like what this country requires in order for you to live here, then leave. Don't live here. If you're going to live here, you have to abide by the rules. The rules aren't that you must believe that your country is infalible.

A soldiers FIRST sworn duty is to defend the Constitution of these United States, nowhere is the oath deos it say cow-tow to President Bush and his PNAC co-conpsriators/carpetbaggers.
Article VI of the United States Constitution states "This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof;
and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding."
Now lets look at some of these treaties they are sworn to defend.
Bush invaded a sovereign nation which posed no imminent threat to the United States of America ? violated both the United Nations Charter and the Principles of the Nuremberg Tribunal which is breach of contract and in fact unconstitutional I would even argue treasonous if they bothered to read it.
