[quote]All I'm hearing is "speculation, speculation, speculation". Not that I was referencing the current war in Iraq, but I will now that you brought it up. America went to war with Iraq, because of an isolated (but very serious, and terrible) act of aggression, by Islamic extremists, and used it as justification for committing mass genocide against a people, because they follow a different faith - millions of innocents dead, in retaliation for a few thousand. And of course, they wanted oil. Just like my country did, but they used the threat of potential WMD strikes as the prime justification for the invasion, which coincidentally have yet to be publicly found. Imaginary WMD's. It's all well and good saying "they were disposed of secretly" when talking about WMD's (one of the main reasons for the invasion), but it can't be substantiated. It's your theory, and there's absolutely no proof. Should proof come to light in the future, I'd be very inclined to agree with you. What seems bizarre is that you believe the were disposed of secretly. What would be the point in hiding one of the very justifications for the invasion in the first place? Doesn't seem logical. Regardless, it's irrelevant. I will never fight a war, unless my country is in direct threat of invasion. There's no honour in fighting someone else's war, or fighting for someone else's ideology. Fighting for someone else is not the same as defending your country. Simply serving your country just because you happen to have been born there is not honourable. It's blindly following orders and its a sign of a moron that can't think for themselves. The justification for enlistment is where honour comes into play; if your justification for enlisting, is to preserve and defend your people - that is a very honourable cause, and deserves the utmost respect. The only time fighting for your country is honourable, is when your fighting to defend your way of life, your family, your friends from an invading force, defending your allies who are under threat from invasion, or fighting for an oppressed people. Don't get me wrong though. I'm not saying that current soldiers in Iraq are dishonourable; they joined under the assumption that they would be defending their country, but don't try and kid us on, the war in Iraq isn't honourable, and fighting it definitely isn't either. It's an unjust war, built upon lies, concocted to invade a country for their oil supply.[/quote]
