If a soldier decides not to fight in an "illegal" war, then he must be prepared to accept the consequences of that decision. It won't be pretty.
= = = Original message = = = Hi Hakan, Thanks for your reply, but Luc in a previous post (Why We Cannot Win), mentioned it was the duty of a soldier to refuse to fight in an illegal war. BTW- Did you happen to visit Da Lat, where pine trees grow and the weather is cool? Also, did you visit the villas and beaches of Vung Tau, or experience the unbearable heat and humidity of Can Tho (Mekong Delta)? One of my best friends is from Vietnam. He has shared many experiences with me. How was the Pho (noodle soup), the Bun Thit Bo Xao Sa (lemon grass, beef and vermicelli), and Nuc Mam sauce in the condiments? Hakan, you are making me hungry!!
