EXCUSE ME?? One of my best friends who is in the National Guard is over there getting shot at. He doesn't want to be there. He does not believe they should be there in the first place. And yet you lump him in with Bush? Don't even fucking go there.
Your friend could refuse the order to go there because the order to go there is unconstitutional. If you honor your oath to uphold and defend the Constitution you are under no obligation to follow unconstitutional ones. I served in the Navy and I would have refused a direct order to go on the grounds that the order to go is unconstitutional.

Nobody said those who went wanted to be there, but they chose to follow an unconstitutional order knowing it was wrong (most think invading Iraq was a great idea). They violated their oath to god and the American people and are endangering America rather than defending it.

But don't you dare suggest that most of the men and women that are over there right now missing holiday's with their families want to be over there so they can be "thugs and hired killers."
I do dare say it. That's exactly what they've become thanks to Bush. They may not want to be hired killers and thugs, but they are none-the-less. They are traitors because they are following unconstitutional orders. And I'll tell anyone in any armed service who invaded Iraq that they're a traitor right to their face.
