This is NOT a pro/con war thread.... It's taking a few minutes to make someone's day.

When you join the military, it's pretty clear that if there is a war there is a good chance your going to get a front row seat. If your going into the military to get a college education, that's great - but the trade off is your playing russian roulette with your life.
It doesn't matter if you support the war or not. You didn't sign up to go to war; You signed up to serve at the pleasure of the President of the United States, and it doesn't matter if he's getting blown in the Oval office or if he looks like a donkey swimming in oil profits.
