You cannot send people to die against their will in a war that makes no sense whatsoever. WWI is considered the worst war in history, both sides deploying weapons that were later just flat out banned as immoral, and drove insane a man that later became the Chancellor of Germany... and we know how that turned out.
We've seen the photos of soldiers suffering from being shell shocked in the trenches. All of them came home broken, just in different ways. We had no right to ever ask that of them.
And what is the use of a soldier that objects? In the end, he will not follow orders, he will hesitate, and he will die.
War has no place in modern society, and we knew that 102 years ago. We knew it 77 years ago. We knew it 66 years ago. We knew it 60 years ago. We knew it 26 years ago. We knew it 15 years ago. We knew it 13 years ago. And since we invented a new enemy, Isis, we will know it again in the next few years.
We keep wasting lives, we keep wasting money, and we keep the military industrial complex alive when it should be put down like a rabid dog. The enemy of today is not a foreign country ready to attack us: the enemy of today is civil unrest, the enemy of today is the cost of education, and the cost of living, and the cost of having such a broken inefficient system throw everyone under the fucking bus.
And you know what most people are doing right now? Arguing which turd is shiniest so we can catapult them into the White House instead of a prison cell?
Those soldiers died to protect what? Because I sure as hell don't fucking know anymore.
