16. You should read your employment contract when you sign up for the Armed Services

Edited on Thu Dec-14-06 07:49 AM by Selatius

They pretty much own your ass.

If you were given an order to drop white phosphorus on Fallujah and disobeyed the direct order, you will likely see the inside of a military prison for some period of time even if the use of chemical weapons is illegal under international law, and they did use WP on Fallujah. Hopefully, you will be exonerated in the end for disobeying an illegal order, but that's likely after the fact that you can't get back the time you lost when you were in prison instead of being a free man.

The wheels of justice can move slowly.
