Thread Starter Re: US soldier refuses to serve in 'illegal Iraq war'

Ok, then what about this situation.
At first I believe in my heart that a soldier only dies one death.
For everyone else not willing to fight dies by being a coward every day.
But through some spark of love, I become reprogramed and I decide that having the ability to kill someone maybe isn't strength.
Maybe being able to stand these other people, and turning the other cheek really is strength.
The route of never taking a shortcutt.
Never ending a life just because it is on the opposite spectrum of what I think I am.
Actively and always trying to instead convince people.
(If you think Jesus was a good person then surely you must agree )
Maybe thats what strength should be.
But because of ink on a paper you are going to use it as an excuse to keep taking the shortcut? To just give in?
