  1. nancy,

    Thank you for posting this. I am old enough to remember the draft and Vietnam, so I discouraged anyone I could, including my son, from buying the myth, so prevalent not that long ago, that the volunteer army was a way to go to college and have a job without ever having to fight. I truly hope that young people now know what joining the military means. That said, it is difficult for anyone to contemplate breaking an oath, facing prosecution, and turning one’s life upside down, and I deeply admire Mattis Chiroux for his stand.
