Why should we give support to people who are ignorant to peoples opinions before they go to war?
Yes, they are people who don't recognise that they are political tools for doing dirty jobs that will scar them for life.
If they where only fighting for our safety i would give them full support. But when they make our world a much worse place to live, i will not say that they are doing the right thing.

So I guess all military personnel are politicaltools then?

Ah, yes, "International Law". Again I ask, please cite the law involved that was violated to make this illegal, the one that requires the UN Security Council to authorize any and all hostilities. Surely you are aware that the Rules of Engagement are in play after a war commences, and are not a pre-requisite to declaration of war? Do you know what RoE are?
Whether you want to admit it or not, there WAS "provocation", the only thing in question is whether it rose to the level to justify war. For me, it did not when everything is taken into consideration, but that in no way makes the war "illegal", just poorly thought out.

So your Army has the divers?
Now you have to help me here, but what was a diver doing in the mountains or desert?
Get wet? (Double meaning)

Maybe you want to start over - this doesn't sound quite right. Your're in the Navy, a Combat Diver, you're in Afghanistan a couple times with some other stops, and then you don't want to be in the Army again.
?????
But the Navy Combat Divers do other things? Like land things? Like transfer to the Army?
So, you served in the military, and you too, were a tool of those corrupt, militant governments.
Do I have this about right?

I still do not understand what a combat diver was doing in the desert.
