I am VERY supportive of the United States military...whether I agree with everything this country does or not....but it just really makes my skin crawl when people are crying about the troops this and the troops that.....
Its simple...if You don't like what this country does...the wars we fight and our leadership...you really shouldn't be signing up to lay your life on the line for the good ol' US...
Thats why I am not in the military and I pay my student loans faithfully...yea that $50,000 would have been great...but I ain goin to war

I don't think any human in their right mind "wants" to go to war. I am a Surface Warfare Officer in the US Navy, and I am preparing to go on a long deployment, and no I'm not ecstatic about it. When you are away from friends and family, its hard, no matter how you slice it, especially when you add that to the chance that you MAY not return home. Yes I signed up for it, yes its a necessary evil, and yes, despite it all I love my job, and am proud of what I do. But I really don't think you can speak on what military people should or shouldn't feel unless you've personally experienced it.
