My Hatred Of Rednecks...
RE: My Hatred Of Rednecks...
-an addendum, as it relates to unlawful action by soldiers.

It's a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation.  Say Joe does something terrible.  To prosecute him, you'll need to remove him from the aoe and trib him.  The effect is that a bad guys gets spirited away in the locals perception.  Say Joe does something terrible and you leave him in theater (for on-site trib or just because).  From the locals perspective you've just backed up...for example... a rapist.

As to whether or not invasions of, say...Iraq, could be prevented if any given soldier refused.  That's ridiculous.  Someone would always say yes.  I've asked this question alot.  I'll ask it here.  Who would you prefer be the triggerman for our military?  A guy like me, or some sub they had to entice because I refused? Go to war or go to jail, baby.

So eager. Yo left, yo left, yo left right a left, keep it in step motherfuckers. Soldiers are made in safety, here, out of kids. The system works. What they do someday somewhere else ultimately reduces to their training and the people who train them.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Indeed. Basic training has a long and storied history, and anyone here who thinks they aren't susceptible to it are made all the more susceptible for thinking that.

I think we both learnt some good, and some very ugly, lessons from it.
