I was in the Army for 2 years. I served my time, had my son and got out on Sept 9, 2001, only saved from going overseas because I had just given birth. I can't imagine what those soldiers went through that did get deployed. People who never served their country don't know what it is like in the service. If you don't do what you are told, you are locked in military prisons (yes, I have seen it happen being an ex MP). They put fear into you and lie if need be to get you to perform. I mean all basic training is is really a form of brainwashing. Then you get young adults overseas who all of the sudden have to face the fact that their false sense of "military brotherhood" is all bullshit and that they have just killed someone, only to be too far away from home to do anything about it. I'm not surprised of the numbers, and I don't think they are pussies. I think they are people who were unfortunate enough to believe some stupid recruiter in a McDonalds parking lot who told them a way to pay for college and an easy life of service
