Reply #24: Good luck with that line of logic

it just proves you were willing to surrender your principles because you were in uniform. Well, guess what, the uniform you were wearing was created to STAND for the principles you chose to cast aside.

I'm a Marine/Army brat -- my dad served in both - WWII and Korea. My aunt was a Marine - WWII, and my uncle was on the Indianapolis - do you know anything about the Indianapolis?

So, you see, I know a little bit about military duty. Including how the military treats their veterans. And, how those vets come home. So don't lecture me --- I could tell you a few stories about what I've seen and been through, but I respect those vets I've shared my life with too much to waste their stories trying to impress someone like you.

Trust me, were my dad, uncle, or aunt alive today they'd fight me tooth and nail were I to consider joining today's military. They knew what they went through and would not wish it on their worst enemy - especially, given the illegitimate reasons (lies) upon which this war was based.

Additionally, I have the anti-war diary my dad drew/wrote (a cartoon-like book) while in Korea ... so, you see, you don't HAVE to 'play along' -- unless you allow yourself to be intimidated into believing your rights have been suspended because you put on a uniform to fight for those same rights.
