Reply #15: "service" is more than killing [View All]

[Pez]

it wasn't killing people that he is proud of; he learned from being in war (which he didn't start, btw). afterwards he came back and led protests against the same war. you shouldn't read selective quotes; it's better to read the entire article because it gives a broader picture about his experience, and his feelings and thoughts.

under which circumstances do you permit people to feel proud about their service?

blaming soldiers or somehow insisting they feel shame for something they were ordered to do isn't the most generous comment i've ever come across...
