What American propaganda machine? Are we bashing Fox again? Newsflash: Fox hasn't been around for 60 years.

Most Americans wouldn't know a worthy cause because they are blinded with Nationalism.

This is so simplistic it's mind-boggling. Living in a democracy presumes that, at least some part of the time, the government is going to engage in policy which you disagree with. Only little children believe they must always get their way. Congress has ratified every war effort the US has been involved in, which would presume your opinion is the one that's "blinded" and extreme.

It takes real courage to drop out of the military when you know they are wrong. How many of us would feel the same way about any Nazi going awol in 1939.

Our soldiers take an oath to fulfill their obligation to their country. It is to their own dishonor that a few in our military are only fair-weather patriots and break their oath.
No nation in the world - not a one - could have an effective military if its men-at-arms could arbitrarily chose not to serve. That's why these men are called deserters.
