Thus your position is lacking in insight.

My position isn't lacking in insight. I simply believe that war should not be waged for economic reasons. Killing for money is something that is considered wrong if I was to do it to the man down the road but it is somehow okay to kill foreigners (and your own citizens) in wars based on economic gain. It reeks of hypocrisy and I won't be forced into participating through some draft.
