The US military has up to now been the greatest force for good in the world. The problem with the military model is that they're expected to unconditionally obey their superiors and when command becomes depraved, the military as a whole becomes a force for evil. The Totenkopf SS is considered to be the most evil group of people in history, but in the end, they were nothing but a group of guys following orders.

Incidentally, they were also gay.

Now that the orders are quite clear, how can any decent person claim that we need more young people lining up to follow them?

Funny, I was always taught that not only could I refuse illegal orders, but that I was obligated to do so.
