Mad at...
I can't believe the amount of people who actually say "well, hey she signed up....so..."
What a cruel thing to say to this man who was asking for some help in grieving.
You don't think he knows that she signed up? It is hard and trying for family members to understand this decision by loved ones. All the honour and pride in the world doesn't save a person from missing their relative or friend who is off at war.
And if she did sign up after the war began, then all the more respect to her for having more courage than any of us. Already a few have stated they would not fight.
Not agreeing with a war fought OVERSEAS is different than not being ready to defend your HOMELAND.
I don't agree with this war. I would feel just the way this person did when they found out their sister was being sent.
But if someone "rolled up the beach" I would be right down there to fight, you can guarantee.
There is a difference between the fight for freedom and the fight for ideological/strategic control of something
Comparisons between the world wars and vietnam are almost disrespectful.
This is not to say the veterans of Vietnam are less respectable. They fought and should be credited for such. But not agreeing with why they were there doesn't make you unpatriotic. I really don't understand how people could be so rude as to shrug this post off by saying "anyone who signs up knows what they're getting in to".
Have a bit of heart.
