> Your friends may never have killed anyone directly, but they have certainly assisted in it. I personally don't see joining the military as fundamentally more supportive of its actions (conceptually) than being a normal (US?) citizen who isn't politically involved in reduced military action. Sitting back and just working in our economy also indirectly supports the military, and doesn't make you any more moral (or less culpable in our military's actions) than someone who joins the marines. Likewise, what if you do join the military but vote against (and otherwise support) any and all people involved in reducing foreign military action? I appreciate how this sounds, but think its a point worth discussing given the moral implications (blame) of your statements.
