Jail or War?

I'm sorry you feel that war is better. I am completely against killing people and if it came to having no choice, either kill some person or go to jail, I'll take jail. At least I'll be able to die with a clear conscious. What you gonna say when you get to heaven and God asks why you killed somebody? Are you gonna act like a 3-year-old and say "b-b-but Bush told me to!"? Yeah rot in hell killing for your country's selfish interests, I'll send you a card.

Yes, I have to admit, those of us in the military are nothing more than a bunch of evil bastards. That's why most of the relief missions into Pakistan fly in on CH-47 Chinooks. That's why Iraq has more electricity and running water than it has had in 35 years. That's why most of the rescue work done after Katrina was done by the US Military of all branches, active, reserve, and national guard.That's why the third major force on the scene in the 9-11 attacks was a large force of US Army Blackhawk Helicopters positioned to help in search and recovery. We do nothing other than kill. We absolutely hate doing civil relief and aid missions in the US and the rest of the world.

Jail.

Killing innocent people isn't my thing.

A relief effort isn't included in my definition of war.

Hmmm....appears we can "assume" we know where you stand in regards to supporting our troops!

Disclaimer - I know I'm "assuming" and has already been pointed out in this thread, it's not good to assume anything about anybody or any statement....but gee whiz this statement is harsh!

Jail? No way. War...depends on the purpose/justification of war. Most likely, no. Today's wars, in my honest opinion, are nothing but injust killings and abuse with no justified purpose. I would never want to imagine being a part of that. No way. Never. Perhaps jail is better because it would only be myself suffering...not me causing the suffering of others. Can't choose either one.

well, when somebody can logically justify killing people in a war, I'll take back the harsh statement. And btw, you need to prove self-defense too if you are going to use it as a justification, you need to prove that if you don't kill them they will kill you, otherwise its not self-defense.
