Our troops aren't the bad guys. The Powers That Be wh send the there, are at best misguided, but the ordinary soldiers and sailors don't deserve the blame here. Yeah, maybe if they all refused to go, that would be a sufficient wake-up call to the higher echelons. But your average 18-22 year old grunt just isn't going to take that sort of initiative. Not when they've been trained to follow orders. Not when they have spouses and small children depending on them. Not when this is what they're counting on to train them for a job, or pay for college. Not when they have no way of knowing how many others would join them. Support the troops. Work for peace.
