    Should soldiers be able to opt out of wars?

    In the free world, the best armies are volunteer professional organisations. Currently, you join as a free person but submit to military law. By submitting to military law, you surrender your citizen rights for the order and discipline of the military.

    Should you be able to refuse deployment on the grounds that the war is illegal and immoral?

      That would defeat the purpose of the military.

          The military is in the warfighting business. You can opt out by not joining in the first place.

          When you join, you sign a binding contract and there is no opting out at that point.

              The first thing you do when you join up is agree to serve the President of the United States. One should give thought to who is currently in office - and also who might be next.

              The job of our armed forces is not to wage war, but instead to deter it merely but it's existance. It's a determent - No one country should wish to face off with the United States because of the power of it's military.

              There recently was a case where a US Army Captain refuse to go Iraq because he claims the President lied to us. It really doesn't matter who lied to who; He signed up, took the oath, and agreed to serve at the pleasure of the President. There is no "clause" saying "If the President is wrong I don't have to go". That's chicken shit.

              I wonder what I would have done if I was faced with such decisions.

                      Millions of us didn't want to serve under Clinton and he was hated by many
                      military because he was gutting the military like a mad man but we still served because that's what we signed up to do !

                      Remember the Army guy who refused to wear a blue UN helmet under Clinton ?

                      He went to jail !

                          No. If you wanted to opt out then don't join. I'm not a fighter so guess what i didn't join the army. You think the only wars are the ones on the news? Soliders right now are running ops in countries you never heard of. Guarding boards of countries you've forgotten about. Its not part of the job, it is the job.

                                      other than the US army, can you name any other armies that are "one of the best" and are volunteer professional organisations?

                                          Sort of defeats the whole purpose IMHO.

                                              I agree! I would never join....but people who do join should definately consider the full implications first!

                                                  You join, you serve. You opt out of going to war by not joining.

                                                      Anyone who joined in the past 2 years will have a hard time getting a job once he gets out. Employers will look at his join date and wonder about his judgment.

                                                          Clinton gutted the military...? Under Bush Sr. the military budget shrank by around 13%. Under Clinton it increased by 5%.

                                                              You can't sign away your moral responsibility. No matter who's in office, it's still you pulling the trigger. Bush, Clinton, Hitler, etc, never killed anybody. War is one everyman killing another everyman, ad infinitum. Strip away all the pomposity and paperwork and it's simple, dirty, bloody, murder. So if you're thinking about traveling to some foreign land to murder people, you better have a bulletproof reason, better than "Mr. Leader told me to". Those who would use your life for their own sport would try to convince you, with grand language, legal wordplay, maybe even threats, that that you can sign away your responsibility, become a part of the collective cause, just a tool, a pawn, but in truth they are nothing more than a lone player without your consent. Imagine how much historical suffering could have been avoided if only individuals acted like individuals and society expected each man to follow his own well-reasoned conscience. Sadly that is not our history, but still ...

                                                              You are your choices.

Bush, Clinton, Hitler, etc, never killed anybody. War is one everyman killing another everyman, ad infinitum. Strip away all the pomposity and paperwork and it's simple, dirty, bloody, murder. So if you're thinking about traveling to some foreign land to murder people, you better have a bulletproof reason, better than "Mr. Leader told me to". Those who would use your life for their own sport would try to convince you, with grand language, legal wordplay, maybe even threats, that that you can sign away your responsibility, become a part of the collective cause, just a tool, a pawn, but in truth they are nothing more than a lone player without your consent. Imagine how much historical suffering could have been avoided if only individuals acted like individuals and society expected each man to follow his own well-reasoned conscience. Sadly that is not our history, but still ...

Over 90% are highschool grads, a very high percentage have associate degrees (it is required of Senior NCO's), many have full degrees as well as graduate degrees, all officers have full degrees, many have Masters as well as Doctorates. You cannot enter the military if you have been convicted of a felony, also conviction on certain misdeamenors are not allowed.

No matter who's in office, it's still you pulling the trigger. Bush, Clinton, Hitler, etc, never killed anybody. War is one everyman killing another everyman, ad infinitum. Strip away all the pomposity and paperwork and it's simple, dirty, bloody, murder. So if you're thinking about traveling to some foreign land to murder people, you better have a bulletproof reason, better than "Mr. Leader told me to". Those who would use your life for their own sport would try to convince you, with grand language, legal wordplay, maybe even threats, that that you can sign away your responsibility, become a part of the collective cause, just a tool, a pawn, but in truth they are nothing more than a lone player without your consent. Imagine how much historical suffering could have been avoided if only individuals acted like individuals and society expected each man to follow his own well-reasoned conscience. Sadly that is not our history, but still ...

That's correct, Bush Sr. Bush Sr cut the US Military by $46.6 BILLION where-as Clinton increased the military budget by $15.1 BILLION. Clinton inherited a weaker military from Bush Sr. and Bush Jr. inherited a stronger military from Clinton. Funny how that works eh? =)

And who initiated those cuts you are talking about? That's correct, Bush Sr. Bush Sr cut the US Military by $46.6 BILLION where-as Clinton increased the military budget by $15.1 BILLION. Clinton inherited a weaker military from Bush Sr. and Bush Jr. inherited a stronger military from Clinton. Funny how that works eh? =)

                                                                                                                                                  in europe to 100,000 troops so that was the basis of his cuts and he didn't go beyond these numers.

                                                                                                                                                  Les Aspin and Clinton took those cuts and went way beyond the agreement with the USSR.

                                                                                                                                                  Where the fuck do you get Bush Jr. inherited a stronger military from Clinton ?

If you could refuse to go to war without facing any sort of punishment, then joining the military would not be a big deal. You'd basically be getting paid to attend a gym every day.

Do they have the stones to go to jail for what they believe in?

I am not sure about the budget allowed the Military during President Clinton's years, but the budget has gone way up under the current Presidents term. BTW the budget does not necessarily reflect the end strength of the Military, because more money may or may not go into Military R&D and the purchasing of newer, better weapons.
