Harley Sorensen is proud of deserters. Blah blah stuff stuff "you might call them heroes in the finest tradition of the United States. They are putting their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor at stake to serve the cause of Right rather than the ambitions of the current president."
That's an interesting perspective. You see, the government is engaging in a really bad war, so these soldiers, seeing how bad it is, are refusing to participate.
One wonders, though, that if they felt justified in doing that, why did they sign an agreement that said, effectively, "You will fight in whatever way the government tells you." I can totally understand if you don't think that's a good agreement to sign on to. What I don't understand is, if you aren't willing to do that, why are you signing on, anyway? You're accepting pay. The military is investing in your training. If you aren't willing to follow orders because you disagree with the government giving them, why did you even join in the first place?
