Cowards Jailed

[carpro]

I do not see this statement as factual.

Of course not. It's spin.

"War" you say? Congress has made no declarations of war.

I assume that is the main reason these cowards are not being tried and executed.

But to desert your brothers in arms to avoid the risks of combat is, to me, the same thing. The soldiers they deserted consider it "war" , no matter what congress says.

They're adults.

DD Form 2 has 4 pages and there is no fine print.

As I stated, they're adults.

a. My enlistment/reenlistment agreement is more than an
employment agreement. It effects a change in status from civilian to
military member of the Armed Forces. As a member of the Armed
Forces of the United States, I will be:

(1) Required to obey all lawful orders and perform all assigned
duties.
(2) Subject to separation during or at the end of my enlistment.
If my behavior fails to meet acceptable military standards, I may be
discharged and given a certificate for less than honorable service,
which may hurt my future job opportunities and my claim for
veteran's benefits.
(3) Subject to the military justice system, which means, among
other things, that I may be tried by military courts-martial.
(4) Required upon order to serve in combat or other hazardous
situations.
(5) Entitled to receive pay, allowances, and other benefits as
provided by law and regulation.

Everybody here knows you're the only one smart enough to recognize it for what you think it is. Everyone is just...duped.

I don't know about "everyone" but you've certainly been duped and you're sticking to it.

Long live the red white and blue illusion eh Carpro?

Not me. I have you here to keep me informed.

Unless you're wrong. Naaaah.

Never.

I am sorry, but I did not think the USA was officially at war with anyone! However, if you join the military forces....it should be blatantly clear that you may be sent to countries politicians are supporting or not supporting....unless the average IQ of the military is moronic which I do not believe. They are stealing from their employers and ultimately the taxpayer!

The USA isn't officially at war with anyone.

Not since WWII. But the USA is in the arms trade and "regime change" business, and business is "booming".

Never ending conflicts = never ending profits.

WAR is a racket. It always has been.

It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives.

A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small "inside" group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes. Smedley Butler

Somebody also has to take the cowards place. If they don't, the unit is down one person and everyone is endangered.

Some people want the money and the benefits, but refuse to take the risks inherent with military service. Freeloading cowards.
