If you only had some semblance of a clue as to how the military works. Soldiers do what they do because they are told to, regardless of what their opinion of the matter is. That is how it must be for the military to function. People know this when they sign up. They enlist to serve their country, not their own personal agenda.
Off that subject, this war is perfectly justified. It is merely a continuation of the Gulf War which never officially ended, as Saddam failed to meet the provisions of the cease-fire which was set in place at the end of the first major involvement. If you followed politics to any extent rather than just becoming a sheep and blindly opposing a war with justified causes, you wouldn't look like an idiot right now. Carry on.
My personal belief is that there are no points that I would disagree on. When you see someone who deserts because their belief is different than what they are being told to do? They are not treated so nicely.
Being in the military isn't like working for corporation "X" where you all attend a meeting and you're able to freeely voice your opinions. If you want to put up such questions because things you are told to do are not within your belief system, you better have your one-way ticket prepared for a country that will let you in, because that's what you'll need to do if you insist on following your belief system.

You really humor me. Do you really think that you could go into the military and question things to the degree you are doing so here?
Not possible. Not at all.
[Edit]: Additionally, when you join the military, you are told that Uncle Sam owns your a$$ - 24/7.
You realize this is how EVERY army has always worked, in the history of modern warfare?
Way to compare it to Hitler though, you classy son of a bitch.
Damn people, the point of this link wasn't for you guys to fight over political opinion differences, but rather appreciate the value of life, and peace. That's why I posted this in OT, otherwise, it would have been in P&N.

Are you a complete moron? Read the post that I quoted. There's a little thingy in there called a question. My reply is a little thingy called an answer.
By the way, there was no 2000 election, but rather 5 Justices that decided the fate of this country.
You wanted this thread to be in Off Topic - and then noted to us that it should not be a P&N thread. Now, you're suggesting conspiracies?
What is your true agenda here?
1) i was talking about citizens who are not in the military, about supporting the war. Obviously if you are in the military you follow the orders that are given to you.
2) Sadaam was not connected to 9/11 (there has been no proof found), and how dangerous he is and his WMD were greatly exaggerated.
3) the economy is in the crapper, and the president does not seem like he is doing much to fix it, as he focuses on the war to divert attention.
that is all
Oh... this is something that I remember when looking at Feldenak's sig, and have been meaning to tell him.
So you were indeed responding to my question then? This one?Originally posted by: FFMCobalt

"However, we are allowed to disagree with them. Is there a point where you disagree so much that you wouldn't fight?"
I was asking - sorry for the apparent confusion - whether or not there was a "point" where you would not go to war, based on political disagreements with the government. Possible answers: "No, I would always go. "Yes, sometimes I wouldn't go."
Notice neither of the answers are "prison."
I didn't say anything about 9/11. I just said that the war is still perfectly justifiable and legal.

Confirmed, you're a moron.
My answer was intended to imply that if there WAS a time that you refused to fight based on political reasoning, you would be imprisoned. It's that simple.
See what you're doing there? You're calling me a moron. You're not just saynig, "It's called a moron." No, that wouldn't make sense would it? Maybe if I had asked, "What's a really stupid person called?" it would make sense. Similarly, "What's that place called where people go if they leave the military illegally?" would be a proper question to respond to with "It's called prison."
