Well, without getting too deep into this, there are a few things that need to be pointed out.
Army docs don't kill people. They aren't required to carry guns. They can, and are allowed to defend themselves. But they aren't out there just shooting away.
Army docs aren't dying in Iraq. They are behind the lines.
Army docs aren't filling body bags. They are practicing medicine trying to save the lives of people who are doing what they are told to do.
You don't want to join, I don't hold that against you. To each his own, and not everyone does it for the same reasons. However, you say bad things about the people that do, I will hold it against you.
Nobody makes anyone to read email or normal mail. You can see the title and delete it if you want, or throw away the envelope. I know how much energy the delete key takes, I hear my classmates whine incessantly about the emails we receive from our school (on average, 4 per day). Maybe they just read slow, but it is annoying that they whine about it.
