Like I said I don’t agree with war, Ive got a bucket full of medals from dead uncles I’ll never meet who died .
I agree war is pointless. I understand most people who join the military do so for a stable career not to fight for a specific cause.
I understand all of that.
However if you handed me a million dollars and a gun, then told me to go to a country I’m not familiar with and fight an army I know nothing about…I’d turn that down. Partly because of my opinions but mostly because Im not willing to risk death for a million dollars. Military people don’t get a million dollars.
I can call it pointless, useless, irresponsible. I can even say it’s a bad choice…
Those people are absolutely braver than I am. I can admit that.
Even if I agreed with the war and was offered a million dollars… I’d need some time to think about it.
I can admit they are brave without being dishonest to my beliefs
Edit: To explain what I mean with a very crude example:
"You robbed the cactus and tick store?! butt ass naked!? Wel… I can’t say that was a good idea… Or even worth the effort… I won’t thank you or imply you did it for me. It was absolutely not necessary.
I can say I’d never be able to do that myself, even if I had to. So congrats on that. It was certainly brave. I feel comfortable saying that . I also hope the doctors can remove all the spines and ticks from your scrotum because I don’t think you should have to live with that forever. I always vote to remove ticks and spines from your scrotum. I’ll never vote for robbing the tick/cactus store naked tho."
I understand your point but I disagree.
