    This isn’t russia, AWOL means forefitting benefits and possibly sitting in jail for a bit. Juggling between the consequences of AWOL or carrying out nazi orders, I know what my choice would be.

      I’m gonna go out on a limb and bet your not the type to join the Armed Forces in the first place. -No offense (I’m not either) I say this because I think the type of person that’s anti-war enough to opt for jail over carrying out nazi orders is the same type of person that knows better than to ever find themselves in a position to make this decision. If I’m wrong, I welcome your corrections.

      I’m not saying you shouldn’t go AWOL. I’m saying you can’t just quit

      neat.

      remember anyone who joined did so willingly as we are 100% volunteers in the US.

      If you find yourself waking up to the facts of the regime you volunteered for, good! if you are unwilling to lose benefits or do some time, then you’re not yet awake enough to really care.

      remember: you may have joined due to propaganda and agitation, and you may not be able to awol because of capitalism.

      the very same “ism” that profits from the military action.
