    So the ones turning up still are just the ones that don’t have any moral objection to it? How reassuring…

      a) Those moral objections aren’t going to be worth much when you get put in a high pressure moment by your shithead bosses and your training kicks in and you’re just following orders because everything happened so fast

      b) These soldiers are human beings who have a fundamental human rights not to be enslaved to their job. If serving in Donald Trump’s army is causing them psychological torment (and how could it not), they should be allowed to leave.

      c) If enough people leave, it’s going to start to degrade the capacity of the American government to martial marshall force, and that’s a good thing for us.
