This may not be popular... (none / 0)
but then again what I say isn't to make fans. People who volunteer in the military should realize that they are doing so to fight in wars, and by the very nature of the military and logic-which is abhorrent and anti-liberal/individualisti c-demands that you risk your life for causes that mean little to nothing to you. How many millions of men died on the battlefields of WWI, mowed down by machine gun fire, and for what? That war forced Europe to face the failure of liberalism and capitalism, will Iraq do the same for the US?

The very notion of joining an army outside of a national emergency is ludicrous, and Americans thought so before 1939. Iraq maybe that sober does of reality to the average American that the current system of warfare-welfare capitalism, and corporatist welfare mediated through the lives of the poor Americans who have little choice but to join the military to get education has to end.
