    So the ones turning up still are just the ones that don’t have any moral objection to it? How reassuring…

      a) Those moral objections aren’t going to be worth much when you get put in a high pressure moment by your shithead bosses and your training kicks in and you’re just following orders because everything happened so fast

      b) These soldiers are human beings who have a fundamental human rights not to be enslaved to their job. If serving in Donald Trump’s army is causing them psychological torment (and how could it not), they should be allowed to leave.

      c) If enough people leave, it’s going to start to degrade the capacity of the American government to martial marshall force, and that’s a good thing for us.

            Kinda wild I can’t see what? Your opinion?

            For starters, it’s an Archer quote. Secondly I don’t live in America and never have. I would still gladly choose America over China any day of the week however.

              I don’t watch archer, so to me it’s just a mean thing to say about China.

              It’s kinda wild that you can’t see that America has become the embodiment of everything you dislike about China.

                It’s kinda wild you keep saying things are kinda wild.

                It’s also kinda wild how you can’t accept people may have other opinions.

                I can absolutely see America is doing some of the things China does, still better to go with the devil you know than the devil you don’t.
