Is the military not there to defend the country or am I mistaken? Do these people not understand what they may have to do?

But it's not like they know where they will be serving in 4 years. So yes, where they serve can be sprung on them. Heck the chumps who joined the military a few years after WWII didn't see Korea coming. Hell our own brass didn't.

That doesn't mean those fighting have to agree with where they're sent. People who enlisted to fight in the army before we even considered invading Iraq had no idea they'd be caught up in an illegal war.

Whether they agree with it or not doesn't matter. It's what they're trained to do. If you go in and you're not prepared to do what you enlisted to, then why did you do it in the first place?

The point is, you can still support the troops who are out there doing there job, without supporting the cause.

I'll support the people who were caught up in it (Even though they're stupid for not thinking a war could possibly happen.), but I will not support those who knew what it was about.
