I have had a couple of family members, former classmates, and friend be deployed to IRAQ. Every last one of them stated that they would never reenlist nor would they go back into combat. My brother was 10 minutes from fleeing to Canada (we live in Detroit) to avoid having to go back to iraq. He was home on a two week break and did not want to go back under any circumstances. We had to do some serious talking to him to get him to go back. He served his time (sounds like jail) and is home now. THANK GOD!

I would never join for any amount of money or anything else they could think to offer me. It's not worth my life. Also, I can not reasonably see leaving this country to fight people that are being oppressed just like me. If we would leave people alone, we wouldn't have to worry about another 9-11, Oklahoma City, or any other terrorist act. Then we wouldn't need more recruits now would we!! The bottom line is that these people want us out of their country and out of their affairs and I for one think we should respect their wishes. If another country tried to invade us for the reasons that we have invaded other countries such as Iraq, we would blow thme to kingdom come. We would never tolerate it. Why is it that our government expects them to tolerate us?
