While I do so enjoy bieng called a freeloader, as it gives wonderful insight into the thought process of the individual that would issue such a statement....I will take exception in this case.

Personally, I would consider military service were my country (which I indeed love) under threat in some way that I could see, and accept as real. It would be "My Duty" to my loved ones, as well as the society I am a part of. I would not, however consider such if I felt the actions of my country were not justified.

This my friend, is part of bieng a citizen of the World.
