esluan comments on How can teenagers avoid going in the army?

well ...thanks for this fantastic dialogue...just got home and checked in........Just to throw in my two cents.....I am English and gave up a green card twice.....the first time was cause I didn't want to go to Vietnam...I live in canada....at that time the canadian government officially welcomed draft dodgers because Canadians felt the US policy and loss of young lives was immoral........er what was learnt about providing kids for cannon fodder ..... now again ex Chairman of the Fed ,.says US went into Iraq for oil....good american kids dying by the dozen....... I support Canadian andUS troops but not their missions................pulling kids into the army has so often made them victims of crazy and immoral policy...they are truly victims In colombia what I saw was an organized form of cheap almost slave labor provided by young lads ...standing around in those oversize uniforms...that waste of life talent and time is so misguided......so I really think this kind of serving has nothing to do with making men out of those boys...teaches nothing about values........kids get that from their parents extended families and friends...also what they see in the society around them if you want topursue my line of reasoning more have a look at a british documentary which blew my international students away http://chichicaste.blogcindario.com/2007/11/00754-war-on-democracy.html cheers and thanks
