This is my answer as well. I can certainly see myself fighting an invasion to protect this country, and indeed killing if required (though I would never be the same person again, I am willing to accept this). I refuse however, to be compelled into a forced mental disorder because an old man in Washington thinks its a good Idea.
Having never been in a position to take the life of another person, I cannot say what it would do to me, but I do know it would change me in ways I do not care for. We can all look at this as some far off possibility, and play the bravado game for the sake of our collective Ego, but when it comes down to it.....Warfare means Killing. I for one, do not take even the slim chance of having to do so.....lightly.
