I don't think that you need to be willing to serve in the military in order to have an opinion about what's going on and to be able to comment on it. >From the wars that I can remember there have been those that I would not have >had a problem with serving in and others that I would. In reference to the >former: Gulf War I In reference to the latter: Viet Nam Gulf War II Not wanting to serve in Viet Nam or the current SNAFU does not mean that you lose the right to opinion.
