Many are like me, I was in to defend America, and nothing else. When you get sent to a war like that in Iraq, which isn't to defend America, then that entitles you to take whatever action you can. These soldiers should just quit, staging a huge sitdown strike.

That means that the vaunted "all volunteer force" is in actualy fact a non-volunteer force by contract. It is in fact prohibited by the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, but the courts won't enforce that Amendment.

If I can convince a man to work for me at a fixed wage, for 3,4, any length of time up to 8 years at my discretion; and can jail him if he decides to walk away, that's Okay with you?

Here's a revelation, such is prohibited by the 13th Amendment, it doesn't matter what kind of contract is signed, it's null and void at the moment of the signing.

And then there's this little beauty...

Further, if I were "cashing a government check" it would be earned, like from any other business. Contractual obligations are just that, contracts.

You seem to have difficulty with that concept, but do try to grasp it.

What a hypocrite!
