Really? Because when I went to boot camp we lost almost 5% of the division due to mental health issues and behavioral problems. Only a couple of people got removed for physical issues.
Do you not believe in mental health problems or something? Is cowardice literally the only thing you think you understand?
When you went to boot camp (assuming you were/are a sailor based on verbage), you lost 5% of your division to mental health issues. It seems to me that people considered unfit for duty wouldn’t graduate basic training at all.
I think you’re missing my point. It’s not about being unfit to fight, it’s about the willingness to defend your home. I can’t get behind people that turn and run when the people that make up their country need them. I can’t support people that aren’t even willing to try given these circumstances.
Correct, Boot Camp is a filter to get rid of people who are unfit for the military, and the quote on the article at the top says “I was not made for war.”
It sounded to me like you were smearing all those men who felt they were unfit for war as all cowards, and it still does. You and I both ought to know that not everybody is fit for war. If some of them are wise enough to realize that fact, that is not cowardice. Some people are not fit to fight and that doesn’t reflect poorly upon them. That’s simply how it has always been. Some are warriors. Some are not. If we dishonor those who are not, that reflects poorly on us, not them.
