What are your thoughts on murder charges during a war?
I think that the way we handle determining if a servicemen
did the right thing is not ok. Since the Rules of Engagement are always
changing it is not fair to the servicemen. The send them into a firefight where
they either live or die, and if you live you a questioned and treated as if you
did something wrong even though you were sent in to do it. You must tell a
military lawyer what you did on your firefight and if one thing breaks the
Rules of Engagement you are found guilty. Our soldiers are terrified and always
worried about doing something against the ROE with the constant changes added
to them.
Do you think citizenship is a duty or a privilege?
In a way I feel citizenship is both a duty and a privilege. It
is a privilege because you are granted with rights and freedoms only because
there are people across seas fighting for it. But you do have to work for your citizenship
as well. You also have a duty as a citizen; if you want our veterans to be
treated with the respect they deserve you need to stand up and do something
about it. It takes effort and dedication to make something like this happen, it
might be difficult and uncomfortable for some people to do. As a citizen you
should do your part and if you want something done, don’t wait for it to happen
do it yourself.
