Exactly! They sign a contract and can get into ton of trouble for defying orders. Most of the soldiers are young. Someone saying “you’re no hero” and “the American people don’t support you” is BS. The more I learn, the more upset I get with how they are treated.
I’m with you on this . This does not hardly compare, but it’s just like people saying Cali voted for this or that so they deserve it , I hope they suffer with their choices ,, hello , Cali was the training ground the pilot program for election theft , we did not vote for them , ca is red ! As I said it does not compare, but I’m trying to say ,, you can not blame the men who are serving our country for what the bastards are doing who are making the decisions ,, to say .. we do not support you , you are not a hero ,, wtf ,, these guys don’t have a choice. I believe they get court marshaled if they say Fk you , I’m not going … this is wrong , way wrong in fact disgusting ! I didn’t vote for 12 yr old kids in Cali to be taken from their parents , if kids are taken from parents if the parents do not agree that they should allow their kids D to be cut off , we can not blame the parents ,,, these demons are passing laws making decisions and laws , and we don’t have a say ! GAW along with DJT has always supported our military , to say this is so sad to me ! My opinion whether people think it’s wrong or not .
When one is being used to prosecute imperialism by killing the wrong people, with no relationship to the defense of our homeland, then, no, you are no hero and the American people should not support you.
I know that puts paid to the veterans of Vietnam, for whom I have sympathy. But the shadow play was very evident by the late 1960s when I was going to college and faced with the draft. The U.S. government was not interested in winning a war; it was only interested in expending manpower to continue a war. I was glad not to be a part of it. The returning vets got unjust treatment, in part. They were forced to do things they shouldn't have had to do by otherwise legal authority (though some might question that, with grounds). They suffered. But they also participated in a killing spree from both sides. If the ends justified the means, the ends were a failure and the means were unjustified.
The next occasion where we were on the wrong side was in Kosovo, bombing Serbians, our former World War II allies, for the sake of an insurrectionist Islamic overthrow of government in Kosovo.
And then we have the middle east. We all have the best opinion and wishes for our servicemen, but the spectacle of our corrupt foreign policy may also be a factor in the dwindling recruitment rates.
You were lucky to not be drafted! We agree that they were forced to do things under legal authority, such is the case when you sign a contract with the military. My BIL signed for National guard, he had a baby on the way. A few weeks after boot, he was deployed to Iraq. He’s one of my heroes, as I’m sure your grandfather is for you, but he had no choice in his deployment. Most boots on the ground don’t. To hold our servicemen and women accountable for the decisions of the corrupt foreign policies is farcical.
Indeed, I was lucky. In my sophomore year, the U.S. transitioned to the lottery system and I drew a 300. Who said anything about accountability? I was just saying that performing faithfully in an imperialistic operation does not make a soldier a hero. Who wants to be known as the pilot who bombed the Chinese embassy in Belgrade?
