I dunno chaps
I think the questions about the war and its motivations are irrelevant here.
If you have an army of soldiers deciding if they believe a war is just or right - then you dont have an army.
If you have questions regarding the way your government conducts itself then I would suggest you not join its armed forces, if you believe in defending your country but not in fighting foreign war then I would say dont join the army.
as far as being an officer and a gentlemen - that depends on how you behave once you get there - ie making good out a bad situation. This guy is neither IMO.
The most I can say for him was he was/is very nieve - but he should not have volunteered for the army
men drafted - its a different situation - I will understand a conscientious objection from a draftee - why the army doesnt like them because they make low moral troops.
When I learned about the Vietnam war - I knew I would never fight on behalf of the government of my nation - were our home soil to be invaded - then I would fight to protect those I care for.
If you join the crusade - well what do you expect
