Thread Name: BS: We're not against the soldiers.
Subject: RE: BS: We're not against the soldiers.
Doesn't anyone else here see a major league disconnect when opposing the war, but professing to support those who actually do the killing? Yeah, I felt that way in WWII. I supported the Gestapo and the SS, it was just Hitler and the German govenment I was against. It's the same thing (except it's our kids) and it makes no sense. After all, these aren't unwilling draftees like in Viet Nam. Were these kids so stupid when they enlisted that they thought this sort of thing (war) would never happen? or that maybe they could pick and choose which wars to fight?

Quit deceiving yourselves. If this war is immoral and illegal, then the resultant war criminals aren't just in Washington (or were the poor darlings "just following orders"-like the guards at Buchenwald and Dachau?).
