I’m confused by your comments about Hinzman’s application for refugee status. Do you really think its moral put a soldier in jail for deserting from a war that most people regard as unjust? Every soldier signs a a contract thinking they will DEFEND their, not ATTACK others. If they think otherwise, the contract is null and void. Do you really think most soldiers who signed up thought they would be told to invade another country that never attacked the US? Your philosophy is backwards. Putting people in jail for refusing to kill is wrong, no matter what contract was signed. (Why all the loyalty to a contract? Get real!) He should be given refugee status, of course. He didn’t do anything wrong. If you want to talk about legalities, then lets! There’s lots of illegality in the US administration and military to go around.

Besides, legally, the US military is actually contravening the law and are in no way defending their constitution as is their purpose. While you blog about how people like Hinzman should “face the music”, others are deciding how the US military command itself, along with the administration, can be brought to justice, hopefully under the scope of an international criminal court.

If there is a real threat, people will mobilize for war. The entire idea of ‘serving’ in the military or committing yourself to so many years of servitude is wrongheaded. If we want a better world, people with good morals like hInzman need to be supported.
