I don't agree to AWOL/desertion. Just do your time and bounce but the IRR thing is completely bull. I am in now for 2 1/2 more years because I thought I would get stop lossed or called back. I had a year left and just got back from Iraq and had orders again to deploy so I re enlisted to come to Germany. I so done with the Army. I will have 8 years completed so they can't touch me w/IRR or anything else coz' I fulfilled my contract.
@wilsonnortheast There's a reason that soldiers of the Wehrmacht were not hanged along with the nazi leadership. They're not considered complicit with the crimes of those at the top of the chain of command. Anyone who enters into a legal contract, and refuses to honour it is doing something illegal, and immoral.
The first case you mentioned is already illegal, and the second is just plain nonsense. There's obviously no comparaison between the objectives of a U.S. marine, and the waffen SS.
@wilsonnortheast You know, soldiers have to go wherever congress sends them, whether they want to or not. That's the contract that they enter voluntarily when they sign up of their own free will. I find it convenient that after getting paid for going through training, when they're finally asked to do what they were paid for, they decide they have moral convictions and want to desert.
It's unquestioningly immoral to accept payment for a job you won't do.
I thought about this in 2006, but did not do it. Try Switzerland instead if you are an American and looking into it
