Answer 2

Extremely sympathetic, but not only for the reasons you mentioned. They are there not only because of the love for their country, but also because of the law. If they go, they suffer. If they refuse, they will have to face legal consequnces. Damned if they do, damned if they don't.

Answer 4

Not at all anymore. We are losing our rights and what they are doing is not doing a thing to preserve the rights that earlier soldiers spilt their blood for. Wheter for money or believing in fighting for another countries rights, which doesn't make me happy one bit, they are supposed to be OUR soldiers, they made that choice and now that they've made their bed, they have to sleep in it. It's no different than what people are telling me about the choice to smoke. Deal with it.
