The fact you are quoting McNamara, speaks volumes, but be that as it may, the fact that thanks to HIM, the war was poorly executed, DUTY ain't a democracy, as MM said, you don't get to choose. If you dodged, you're a coward, at least in *MY* eyes and that's really all that matters..


Yep, citizens are supposed to do anything they are ordered to do. It is only potentially wrong when those citizens are in other countries much like how Americans were ordered to round up and intern fellow citizens in the 1940s and how Americans were ordered to confiscate firearms from citizens just a few years back. You slap on a uniform and you don't get to think about what you do, you just do it. Glad to have people like you Jorge who will carry out political whims without the slightest hesitation.
