Some sign first and grow a brain later.
Some sign and refuse to grow a brain ever.

Israeli/US missile test:
http://www.theguardian.com/world/mid...-refugees-live It's a live stream but check the comment @ 11:28am [edit] not sure I believe the official line on this, why on earth would you be conducting 'tests' like that without warning anyone?

Arguments that have been rejected at the Nuremberg trials, btw. "I just followed orders, I had to follow orders" was often rejected there when the tried war criminals were questioned, afaik. You deny the duty of a soldier to refuse follow a traitors orders, illegal orders, criminal orders. And that should be taken serious? You are only about protecting the state-within-the-state-mentality that is inbred in every military apparatus today. When you sign in, you cannot chose your wars and loyalty to commanders, but you have to obey. In 99 out of 100 cases I totally agree with it, because I fully understand the necessity for this. If you are critical about your leader's motives or do not want to fight in wars, better don't join then. But the precondition for that choice on leader'S motives is to know it in advance. And you cannot know what kind of corps general you get, and many people, apparently especially in America, are trained from schoolyears on to be remarkably uncritical of their politicians and political system, it sometimes crosses the border to brainwashing. So when you join in good faith, and then find out that your leaders betray you, you have not just the right, but the duty to expose them - because you serve not them, but the people of your country who pay your training and your wages and who are the only subject worth to pledge an oath over. If you have a problem with your people as well as with your leaders, like I have today, you better do not join indeed. But that must be known and understood in advance by that 18 year old teenager we are talking about. And btw, August, since you questioned it, intervention on behalf of the opposition in Syria leaves no doubt about whether AQ is profiteering from it or not. They do, for intervention against Assad hurts AQ's enemy it fights against. And what weakens their enemy, makes themselves stronger. It does not get more obvious than this.
