127. It doesn't sound like "killing" is the primary problem here
Edited on Mon Nov-03-03 08:47 PM by Selwynn
It sounds to me, speaking as a person who read more than three words of what IC wrote, that the problem is that the organization to which IC belongs, the United States Amry is an organization that no longer represents the same things that it once represented - the things that might encourage or inspire a person to join and serve one's country in that way.

It's one thing to be a pacifist and join the reserves hoping to never have to actually fight. It's another thing to remember a time and a place where you believed in the institution - that it was about the just insurance of American saftey and freedom, and the defense of its people from enemies and tyranny - and find that today, everything you ones believed about the institution has been left in utter shambles.

That's the difference. That and the fact that IC's petition to be discharged as a OC was filed over a year ago - so your comments are not only insensitive, they are inaccuarate.
