When you sign up for the military, you sign up to take orders, not to make stratigical, or ploitical decisions. Anyone signing up for the military thinking they can pick and choose when to take orders, and which conflicts to get involved in....is an idiot. Also, assuming you are only going to 'defend' your country, or that it even means that you will be sitting around Stateside with a gun, waiting for invaders to cross our borders..is just silly. Thats not how the world works.
Also, I am getting tired of hearing people say, "Well, what about our real target? Bin Laden?" WHAT THE FUCK DO PEOPLE THINK WE ARE DOING IN AFGANASTAN? Pat Tilman DIED in combat fighting suspected Taliban and Al Queda in Afganastan. Also, as a side note, its not a war on Bin Laden, its a war against terrorism, and that shit is everywhere. Don't assume that just because the War in Iraq is getting more Media coverage that we are not working all over the world on eradicating terrorist scum.
Umm..and I am off topic now..please Canadians, these guys knew exactly what they were signing up for, I have been to recruiters, and I have many friends in the military, they don't pretend you might not have to fight, or go overseas. These guys I assume are part of the "Lets milk the military for the benefits, and hope we don't have to fight" brigade. They deserve to be tried, and sent to prison.
