Soldiers often offer lame excuses for enlisting and going to Afghanistan or Iraq to butcher children who were no threat to anyone. Commonly they whine they were having trouble finding work. They refuse to acknowledge that not only is killing kids morally reprehensible, it is illegal. Aiding an abetting an aggressive (first strike) war is a capital crime. Their excuse is even less valid than had Nazi soldiers used it. There is no gun forcing Canadian or Americans to enlist. The could have made more money in the Mafia or a drug gang. At least then they would be killing and torturing children.
