Any government that wantonly sends its own citizens to be killed should be, in any rational persons minds, crazy.

Any government that wantonly starts wars and kills people for it's own benifit should be, in any rational persons mind, crazy.

Whats your point?

There is a difference here.... the citizens that we send "to be killed" are volunteers. That means they know and understand that they will be shot at! Yet they join anyways. The people that ruthless dictators kill are innocent civilians. They did NOT volunteer to be shot at! See where I'm getting here?

It's not like we have a draft, we have a 100% volunteer military. Obviously that counts for nothing in your books.

I can't argue with your 3rd point, because that would just be re-hashing the same old pro-war vs. anti-war argument.
