I see that too many young people sign up as their only means to getting an education, or a job. Many are coerced into signing up, too.

Bush is a mass murderer because of the millions of Iraqi deaths in a war that is illegal.
I just don’t get the American perspective on this war–don’t we have a volunteer army? I think todays soldiers CHOOSE to serve and know they will likely end up in Iraq.
Go ahead and evaluate mistakes, discuss future strategy, but quit acting like George Bush is a mass murderer because he forced all these helpless young men into a useless battle. The truth is that many of them feel they’ve made a real difference over there, or signed up so that they could.
Leadership is tough, and I pity the next person who will lead this nation that entertains itself by shredding the person at the top.
