This if for the many people that after entering the Army realizes that didn't want to get in, or that realizes that the whole Iraqui-USA war is just an economic interest of a few...

WHAT? What 'many people' that entered the Army then realized they did not want in. Do you know how long it takes to enlist? At least a week. If you did not think about what COULD possibly happen if you enlist before you even talked to a recruiter, then in the time it took you to take the ASVAB, go to the physical etc. I am sorry for you, you are too stupid to be a memeber of society in general and should be euthanized very soon.
It is not a soldiers job to question the reasons for a war, if you want to do that, be a journalist. If you want to be a soldier, join the Army. Its pretty cut and dry. Further, we have been at war for 5 years now, in Afghanistan and/or Iraq. How could anyone still be in, if they did not enlist or re-enlist since 9/11 or the war started?
I think you are just trying to make your political view known, and you have simply posted in the wrong area.

No one makes you go in so when it gets tough or you have to sack up and live up to your oath there is really know why to pretty that up and pretend you are having a moral rebirth. You are a coward and while the political left will encourage you for now it will ruin your life. Don't be afraid, the troops will most likely be out of there before you have to show some gumption. It does look like they are in an exit plan, like it or not. If you a desperate ask your commanding officer for a date and he will probably get you a "you ask and I am telling" discharge. That would actually be more noble than just going gutless in the face of manhood.

Nope, anyone who is thinking of enlisting should REALLY think about the commitment, and possibilities it entails. People who make the decision to join, and then regret it later should suck it up, finish their obligated serving time, then walk away from the Military. I understand some want/need the college money, or join for other reasons, but the situation in Iraq is an example of what can happen if you enlist. People should be accountable for their OWN decisions, when it comes to enlisting VOLUNTARILY.

yeah, but you don't want to take that route, lol. Once you join the army it is a binding contract that can be subject to prison time, especially in the time of war. People know what the army is for, they are told and expected upfront their views do NOT matter. They are soldiers, if they can't handle it, they should have left the recruiters office and taken a knitting class.

Not in an honorable manner.
Some guys have cut their wrists, arms etc and got out on a psych some of these guys kept their benefits and were honorable (but not to me cause they faked it just to get out) and some got out but it was dishonorable and had no veterans benefits.
So the anwer is sure, start hacking at yourself they will send you home. But it's not the right way.

I am an army vet and I am against the war, but guess what, you took the oath and pledged your allegiance. Do your duty. As a soldier , it is not up to you to agree or disagree with policies. You are there to follow orders and serve your country any way you are ordered to. As i said, i didn't agree with the war, but i believe in serving my country. I followed my orders and protected my brothers in arms as they did me. You should see it through. Be a patriot, not a traitor.

You can get a honorable discharge if certain circumstances arise. But, you cannot just leave the army...its called desertion..and you will be brought to trial in a Military court for it.

That's why I think the kids who are not fully educated or experienced should be making the decision to enlist until they're 21....same reasoning for not letting them drink until 21.
