Spring 2003 —

It's obvious that when I wrote this page I did not consider the reality that many people have their own good reasons for entering the military. In some cases, the option might not have been optional. |
And on we go, apologizing for anti-war sentiment, always backing up two steps to pay obeisance to "the troops," barreling headlong into world domination or World War III, thanks to the fighting efforts of an all-volunteer army.
Support our troops?
I don't want to apologize for my anti-war sentiment. I don't want to support the troops. I never had anything against the U.S. troops as individuals. I don't support the wars that America wants to fight. The United States armed services are an all-volunteer group of organizations. Every member chose to be there. I don't support the wars. Do I not support the troops? Well, then, I don't support the troops.
Dialogue in the American war-skeptical movement is pathetic. We're stuck. There is no escape from the traps that ignorant hawkish louts have us backed into. They may be stupider, but that's obviously working.
