Why War is Immoral by Daniel Lakemacher

After the http://motorhomediaries.com crew was put in touch with http://warisimmoral.com's Daniel Lakemacher, they coordinated to make time for an interview when swinging through Chicago. In this video Daniel shares his personal journey - from working at an insurance firm in downtown Chicago to enlisting in the Navy post-9.11 to discovering the ideas of liberty and encouraging others to "think for themselves" - in a very compelling interview that will inspire others in and out of uniform to face the reality of their actions and quite possibly, result in a paradigm shift so that they live morally.

You enlisted... WTF did u think the military was about!? To do whatever you pleased? If everyone thought for themselves and didn't follow orders then where the hell would the military be? I'm in the military and I know where your coming from, it Fkn sucks @ times... And I am by no means a military roll model trust me. Just gotta suck it up n do ur time.

It is an all volunteer service..."you volunteer to sign the contract" i understand your views but please stop hating on the military. Thanks and good luck take care.

I'm still not believing the people firing these missiles from the drones hitting one enemy and 20 women and children who's only crime was being born in a destroyed country... Duds how do you sleep?

That is why I say the people who dropped the Gas pills, Counted the coins and watches, pulled out the bodies, through the bodies in the flames and covered the pits, should have been tried and imprisoned as criminals in Poland's death camps at the end of WWII. I can not believe what people will do in the name of following orders.

Dan hermano I am proud to know and have served with you. It takes cajones to not suck it up and actually stand for what's right. Sucking it up is what allows for the atrocities the military gets away with. Suck it up man I can't stand hearing that line. The military would never suck it up for me but I should be sucking it up throughout my enlistment? So I guess accepting orders to another country and leaving your family behind isn't enough sucking up? Or the countless watches and other duties?

Excellent work Daniel. This is a fine example of courage & moral consistency for everyone who truly cares about liberty. Here's someone shouting the truth from the belly of the beast...& boldly pointing out the contradictions of an organization funded by aggression, existing to carry out aggression & maintained through slavery, while claiming the purpose of "protection." The only sad thing here is how long it took for an active duty enlistee to state the glaringly obvious: war is immoral.
