They didn't have to join the military.


I'm glad SOMEONE else realizes this. If these idiots didn't want to  be involved in a situation where innocent folks may die, they SHOULDN'T HAVE JOINED THE !@#$ING MILITARY.

The quote indicates a fundamental flaw in the deserter's argument.
Soldiers have an obligation to follow any legal orders.  If the order to fire on unarmed people is illegal, he can refuse it.

In a bureaucratic situation, I have on one one or two occasion refused to follow orders that were a violation of policy.  Now, that is nothing compared to a military situation, but in one case the order was countermanded by a superior and in another, the supervisor withdrew it.

This is drilled (no pun intended) into soldiers in basic training.

Still a nice pun.
