sorefingers, so glad you aren't going to argue. I agree folks who signed with the military either need to do as told or face the consequences. But they MUST question the rightness of their actions - at least according to the Uniform Code of Military Justice. People are individually responsible for what they do.

If your definition of coward is someone who speaks their mind despite the possibility of being shouted at and called names by someone espousing the views of Authority, then thanks for the compliment! Those 'cowards' are in pretty good company! Seems to me the US became the US because of cowards, slavery was ended by cowards, human rights have been recognised because of cowards, and wrongs are generally exposed by cowards. It's your 'brave' folks who get us into trouble.

Not that I'm arguing with you...
