Re: The Military and Armed Conflict
[ QUOTE ]
1. What do you think of people who join the military, and why?
[/ QUOTE ] This is a difficult question to answer because people join the military for different reasons. Some people don't have a whole lot of options in life, and joining the military provides them with a chance to have a life.
Others join because they had family members that served, so they feel compelled to join.
Others join because they want money for school, via ROTC or the GI Bill.
Others join because they are into the soldier thing, and the military is a perfect outlet for them.
So basically what I am saying is, you can't truely have an all encompassing view on people who join the military.

2. Do you think armed conflict is sometimes unavoidable?
[/ QUOTE ] Yes.

4. What do you think of private military contractors?
[/ QUOTE ] Quite frankly, I find them reprehensible and they lead to massive conflicts of interest. I can't fathom how something like this Cheney/KBR/Halliburton/Iraq war contracts could possibly go down in any other industry.
