People who sign on to the armed forces--VOLUNTARILY--then decide that they made a mistake are NOT 'resisters'. You can't compare these people to those who fled conscription in the 1960s, who really had no choice. These 'resisters' probably wanted the scholarships and whatnot that accrue from military service. Then, they found out that out that (shock!) it's about killing people and/or getting killed/maimed. Just send these idiots back, to deal with their own stupid mistakes.

Yes, the stop-loss ploy is a contract violation.
As is the invasion, contrary to the UN vote.
As is the overseas deployment of Coast Guard,
and the domestic deployment of combat troops...
As is the use of torture and terror...
Is this not true?

I can see your argument, Tony. It's that a contract has been signed. So what if someone signs up for Afghanistan to defend against the 9/11 attacks, BUT are sent to Iraq? Contract violation, rendering it null and void. What if someone goes, fights, finished their tours, leaves active duty and is stop-lossed back in? Contract violation.
These are examples I hear all the time from war resisters.

Okay I am not for the war in any way however they signed up for the job. People go into the military to kill or be killed. If you sign up for something you stick to it .
