keyword is volunteer... there ain't no forceable DRAFT today so kindly refrain from demonizing the military system... it is an OK place for many people to choose as a career

This is why I never joined the Military when they were hounding me in high school and calling my house twice a week. I knew then it was a sham, foot soldiers for illuminati oil bankster CEOs.
14 years old, read William Cooper's Behold A Pale Horse.
Book changed my life and saved me from the Military Industrial Complex sham

What that Chief did could cause him his career if found out. He did a brave thing.

That's a senior enlisted man. Not an officer...
But can't disagree with the sentiment...

No. It's not 'brave.' It's brave if you don't involve yourself in the conflict. If you're to be deployed then you become a conscientious objector. Or you don't join the military in the first place.
It violates the UCMJ by taking a stance on a political issue while in uniform. I would expect a navy chief to know better.
Furthermore, it's not about helping Al'Qaeda or supporting terrorists. It's about telling a government that chemical weapons on civilians, in particular, is wrong. Standing by while atrocities are committed is complicit in those atrocities!
The United States has turned a blind eye to human rights violations for way, way too long. I hope congress endorses a limited strike on military targets within Syria.edit on 1-9-2013 by links234 because: Emphasis.
