Makes me wonder, back at the time, when you went there -- how much did you believe in what the politicians and military commanders said about weapons of mass destruction etc, if I may ask?
Sorry for the ones who died
- account-5 4y agoNo, I don't think many people did. But as a soldier you don't have a choice, you go where you are told.

- account-5 4y agoHave you ever been in the military? I'm guessing not. Glib though your answer is it hasn't been that long since people were shot for not following orders. And at 17-18 years old you're unlikely to question much you're told to do, especially after training/indoctrination. Most of the time I had no idea what I was actually doing or why, but when you end up having to fight for your life and those of your muckers you do what you must trying to survive. Trails come if you survive.
- jokowueu 4y agoyes i have but it was mandatory conscription . My point still stands though . I guess it's always a risk analysis if you will end up in the winning or losing team .
