I fully respect the military, and I fully oppose war and violence. In a perfect world, we would not need a military, but this world is not perfect, and sometimes the military is needed. Just because I oppose the war the U.S. is in right now, but that does not mean I don't support the troops. They are doing their job and I thank them for that.
However, I know of people who join the military for reasons I do not support. A few people I knew in high school have told me they wanted to join the army so they could kill people, and THAT is NOT serving your country. In fact, its the militarys job to save lives, not take them.. Violence should be the final resort.
(Previously mentioned people are now in the U.S. army and touring in Iraq currently)
