You a Vet?Highly unlikely that while serving,you told your superiors where and when you would choose to serve.
The military is not a democracy and when they tell you where you are going it is not a debate and you do not get to say,gee I do not agree with that,I think I will sit this one out.
So you just had Bust agree with you on something that would never happen.
It does not even make sense,nobody wants to go into battle,as a veteran you would know better then that,you signed a contract when you sign up,they own you and nobody has the freedom of telling them what you are going to do as an individual.It does not work that way.
Read the reports of the two warships that collided with civilian freighters in the harbors.
With both ships the captains and XO were relieved of command and demoted because they allowed the crew to do what ever they wanted on the ship,with the worst part being the electronics warfare personnel had meals and soft drinks sitting on top of multi million dollar electronic warfare equipment.
In a battle situation both of those ships and their crews would have been sunk and dead,maybe you served in a similar situation where the crews controlled the ship and there was zero chain of command.
How does one of the most advanced warships in the world that cost a billion dollars run into a another ship in the harbor?
Because it was crewed by people with that mindset of what suited them best and it got 7 of their shipmates killed,that’s the way it works,it is never the one that screwed up that gets killed it is the bystanders that pay the price.
In the military you have to be prepared to do battle at any given second,it is called readiness,and it does not work if half of the force is standing there debating whether or not they agree with the actions.
Lots of non committed people in the military,if you are in the military those are the ones that you do not want to be even near you because they will get you killed before the enemy does.
Why even sign up if you are not prepared to go all the way?
