Just one quick question:
Does one's duty to our country supercede one's duty to one's morals?

Bush wasn't awol. And if you plan on replying that he was in fact awol, don't bother unless you plan on providing proof and sources.

Now, I'm a supporter of Elves... Now, instead of keeping quiet, then running like a chicken and violating my oath, I would, at the outbreak of the war, explain that I am very much opposed to fighting the Elves at all, and my religious views cause me to believe this. [/B]

What's not to like about elves? Last time they were here, they gave us a lighthouse that only lit up when orcs were near. Not only did it wake everyone up for battle, but it blinded the orcs long enough for us to eat breakfast first.

Cowards? I think these men are very brave. It takes a lot of courage to stand up to your country and your army when you think they are wrong. I especially find Jeremy Heinzman's case to be interesting. I'm really surprised that you hard-core Christians haven't commented on the fact that he asked for consciencous objector status based upon religious views, and that he made, IMHO, a very reasonable request to be transferred to non-combat duties. The army could've handled this, they simply chose to be arrogant and not do so. The other kid also should've been allowed to leave...give him a dishonorable discharge if you want. As for Bill O'Lielly don't believe a word he says.

and for the record (and to stay on topic), he shouldn't have joined up if he didn't want to serve. if you don't have the mental fortitude to resist one of those meathead recruiters, you've no one to blame.

I have two uncles who served relatively long stints in the military. One served in the Navy during Vietnam, but not in Vietnam, he was stationed in the Mediterranean. The other served during Vietnam, but worked in an office in Japan. He never actually saw combat because of his eyesight. He originally joined the Air Force expecting to fly combat missions, he had some health problems that affected his sight, and he was given a NON-COMBAT job similar to what Jeremy Heinzman was asking for.
And BTW, if it's an all volunteer force, doesn't that mean they are free to leave? If I volunteer to help at a charity event, which I do frequently, I do not have to stay if I don't like what they are doing at the event. Heinzman became a Quaker, and made a very reasonable request to be transferred to a non-combat position. The other guy asked for a discharge, and probably would've accepted a dishonorable discharge. What's wrong with that?
