That's probably true for some. Maybe even most. You don't know.
Some could stay in because there's no jobs and their position doesn't involve combat duty.
Others simply may be unsure of the unknown and be hesistant to try somethig new.
Most people don't handle change very well and look to avoid it. That's part of the human condition; we like least that which is inevitable.
Without any sort of meaningful survey to indicate why, you're committing a fallacy of accident. Or you could call it a sweeping generalization. You've attributed a general action with a specific motivation without cause. |
And you're simply blowing it out your ass! Point is....YOU don't know anymore than Therese. But HER speculations made more sense than YOURS did. |
Try re-reading it but this time with the words.  |
You have to understand... Therese believes this is a holy war, i.e. that Bush is sent from God, so all the soldiers who die will go directly to heaven. This is just like the Muslims, except of course, our guys REALLY, REALLY get to go to heaven
, their guys don't.
She's "okay" with the our guy's deaths. Death = Heaven! (Well, if you are Christian. Otherwise, Death = Hell)
