Re: How Can You Possibly Be Proud of Your Brother . . .
[ QUOTE ]
for serving in a war of aggression? Shouldn't you be more inclined to feel ashamed of him? Or perhaps believe that he was caught up in a conflict where his choices made little difference and he at least didn't personally make things worse. But pride? It isn't justified.
Now Sgt. Camilo Mejia, on the other hand, is someone a brother could be proud of. An veteran of the Iraq war, he risked prison and served a year rather than return on the grounds that "I was part of a war that I believed was immoral and criminal, a war of aggression, a war of imperial domination."
The brave young people who refuse to serve in criminal wars are the best America has to offer. Nothing you've written differentiates your brother from any other soldier in any other ignorant army.
P.S. Consider sending your Mother a list of Democrats Senators that voted for the war resolution and continue to support the occupation. This is a bipartisan crime.

Suggesting that he be ashamed of his brother for serving in the armed forces? You're a real piece of [censored], you know that?
I don't give a flying [censored] what you think of the war, blah blah blah, everybody's got their opinions. Your response to the OP is cold, heartless, and shows you to be the scumbag you really are, regardless of political viewpoint.
