So tombstone....
Your profile says you're 26. Have you served yet? Are you serving currently? Or are you another chickenhawk afraid to put his butt on the line for his millitant beliefs?
Ad hominem attacks such as these are not worthy of a response.
Yup, it's a real show of courage to avoid a driect question while attacking someone you never met by calling him a coward.
I repeat, ad hominem attacks such as these are not worthy of a response.
O.K then: justify your ad hominem attacks on all conscientous objectors.
People who join the military and all of a sudden have a crisis of conscious and then run to Canada are cowards. If they believe war to be wrong, then why did they sign on with the military? If they aren't cowards, then why don't they remain in the US and make their protests here, where they can show true courage by facing the consequences of their actions.
In the past I have been called a coward for supporting the war/military, but not serving in it. That's just stupid. As response to those who make such accusations I ask them the follwoing questions
"If you're so against the war and the US then why don't you join up with a terrorist group like Al Qaeda?"
If I'm a chickenhawk because I support the war but am not in the military, then those who are against the war, but not enlisted in a terrorist group are "parlor terrorists"
See how pathetic this is? Just because I am not an enlisted man doesn't mean that these deserters aren't traitorous cowards.
They're traitorous, hypocritical cowards who don't deserve the unmitigated honor of being an American. Let them rot in Canada. Let Canada rot for supporting them. Let all who enjoy our freedoms rot, for supporting cowards, while condemning the military.
Anyone who supports these cowards should be ashamed of themselves.
For starters their is a difference in being against war & being against CERTAIN WARS. I'm not defending what these guys did, however asking them why they joined the military if they are agaiunst war is a really unfair question. They might believe in war when neccessary, but don't believe in certain wars. For example the vast majority of the country regardless of party agreed that the Afghanistan war was right, this country is pretty much split when it comes down to Iraq. Does that mean about 50% of this country is against war? No. So for all you know these guys could have joined the military because they believe in helping out the country & were willing to go to war when needed, but when faced with a war in which they felt wasn't needed and that they didn't believe in, they chose not to fight. Now is what they did the right thing? Not really, but that doesn't mean they are scum either
