This is nasty business. My hubby was a Viet Nam Combat Vet and they followed the orders of their commanders without question.
It's a strange breed that is joining the forces today. I guess next, some in the military will try the 'sit down protest.' Pity.
It is a voluntary force so what are they complaining about , because they have to fight. That is what they signed up to do.
God bless the soldiers who serve honorable.

My son is one of that "strange breed" you refer to. He chose to delay his college education and volunteered for the infantry. Many of the young men he went through boot camp with at Ft. Benning had done the same. They've been to Iraq and are likely headed for Afghanistan next.
If the majority of those enlisting in the military today were indeed a strange breed- we'd never have accomplished what we have in Afghanistan and Iraq.
