I don't entirely agree with that... All thru history, troops do what they are told, go where they are sent and, well, just try to survive. Most of them are just pawns in a giant chess game and are just as helpless as we are. Rebelling or deserting earns nothing but a jail sentence. I work with several ex-military. What is interesting is that the split is about 60-30-10. 60% of them are against this whole mess and object to it, 30% are gung-ho all towards it, and 10% don't know what to think. -- Peace!
