Following orders is a big part of being a soldier. You just do what you have to do. And wether or not we are at war for a good reason, or if it is in fact a 'real war' is not something for soldiers to decide. It's for the American voter to decide, and they have decided. Now can we cut all the talk about this not being a real war, because I can assure you its VERY real to all the soldiers over there.
I'm not gonna even get into the 'not responsible enough to carry a gun' discussion.
Do you think the guys who took normandy cared about the reason we were there? Nope, it was just 'hes trying to kill me so I have to kill him before he kills me or my friends'.
Once again, soldiers dont fight for political reasons, they fight for each other.
If this guy simply refused to fight, and stood tall before the man for it, I might actually have some respect for him, but choosing to join the army, then turning coward and running to canada is despicable.
