    More power to 'em

    Anyone that resists this criminal war is a hero that deserves our support.

    As for "soldiers don't get to quit when they feel like it", no one can be forced to engage in a criminal act, I don't care why they joined the military. They certainly didn't join to support a criminal invasion; if only more Americans had the spine to resist the criminality of this assministration the world would be a whole lot better off.
