That the geopolitical decisions of nations isn't usually left in the hands of enlisted men, or officers, for a reason.

Now what that reason might be is up for grabs. I won't presume.

I'll also opine that a good soldier should be proud of what they were doing. And worried about the image of themselves, their unit, their service and their country. As I said, I'm out on a limb.

And even so the deployment of those folks usually is left to others in a democracy. For some reason. Maybe world-view, oh, I don't know.

Arf (Jeez, the tension is killing me. Out here, alone, in a hostile world, taking a stance like that! Whew!)
