Reply #9: Bosnia..Rwanda [View All]

was far from unjust. NATO may have prevented a wider war. We certainly stopped a mass murder. I do not consider my time deployed there a waste. Nor was activation for civil emergencies (weather) a waste. I was not tricked.

I knew exactly what it meant and exactly what could happen, even though I was not signing up for active duty.

Rwanda is an example of where we SHOULD have intervened to stop another mass murder. As is Sudan. Allowing mass murder is wrong.

Stopping it means killing people if asking does not work.

While a nice vision there will never be peace in the world. People will continue to kill others for resources or simple hatred.

A soldier does NOT decide what war is unjust.

CIVILIANS start wars here, ALWAYS.
