Despite my ongoing midlife crisis... Yes that is true, but it is also necessary. Those ads, messages and posts are also aiming at the enemy. The U.S. military is a professional military. The Vietnam draft is considered illegal, just not yet declared as such by the Supreme Court and thereby the Nation, but by the people.
In the U.S. soldiers have a position of respect unlike what happened during Vietnam from some parts of the population.
The six dead knew what they signed up for. Their death is no tragedy, but part of the job description as much as part of that job description is to honour that death and continue the fight.
In an admittedly strange and possibly surreal way, utilizing their corps is keeping them in the fight, exactly what they signed up for.
We have to change the World to change that, which is exactly what they singed up for.
Therefore, to make it even more complex, the critique stated by that woman is important.
E Pluribus Unum.
