[QUOTE="Judge Bean, post: 7226, member: 42"] [b]Get together[/b] There is no reason to be alarmed about this. It is an American tradition, stretching back to a time before we had pirates running things, for members of the military to consider themselves in service on a thorough volunteer basis, even if drafted. Far different thing from the standard European or Asian model, in which loyalty is enforced along other lines; Americans depend upon a natural patriotism which is a link to the heritage ideology rather than the accident of birth. But the theoretical part of it is irrelevant. It is our tradition to stand for our rights against the authorities. We do not view it as rebellion, but as the assertion of fundamental authority which we keep; if those in power assume too much power, they always run the risk of having us blow the whistle on them. This is what they've done by now, of course, although it has been a long time coming. Their arrogance and material strength has accumulated over decades, throughout the 20th Century. It's a new century now. It is always a mistake to rely upon American citizens to betray one another, however simple a matter it may seem to rob them of their rights over time. When you hear an American soldier state that his first obedience is to the Constitution, the law of the land and our national charter, and the document that preserves our hard-won rights, you are hearing the actual patriotic voice of my country.
