National armies will target young men & offer them promises of 'wonderful career opportunities', camaraderie, great leisure pursuits, etc., etc., - try to make them understand that they will be the tools & cannon-fodder of their governments & the US, & have to turn off their own conscience, once they put on that uniform.

The Australian-based veterans group Stand Fast today rejected
statements made by Federal opposition leader Brendan Nelson regarding
the tragic death in Afghanistan of SAS Signaller Sean McCarthy.
Stand Fast spokesperson Hamish Chitts said the group, comprised of
veterans and former military personnel who oppose the wars in
Afghanistan and Iraq, regards the rhetorical remarks of Dr Nelson as a
vile attempt to turn public opinion to support the war in Afghanistan.
"This war is primarily about having easier access to the oilfields in
Turkmenistan to the North of Afghanistan, including a possible pipeline
from these oilfields through Western Afghanistan to lucrative markets
in Pakistan and India. Soldiers are sacrificing their lives so that
others can earn a profit from it," he said.
"To bury this war under the cloak of democracy and a war on terror is
ridiculous. As veterans and ex-service personnel, we reject this
attempt to say that anyone in Afghanistan has died in our name. We
think Dr Nelson is looking after the interests of big business and
dressing it up to look like the people of Afghanistan have the
capability and desire to invade Sydney," Chitts said.
Chitts' comments came after Brendan Nelson was quoted as saying;
"Signaller McCarthy has given his life in our name, in the cause of
fighting extremism and the Taliban in particular."
"Stand Fast would like to ask Mr Nelson and Mr Rudd did the bride and
22 other members of her wedding party who were killed by U.S. bombs in
Nangarhar province on Sunday (July 6) also give their lives in our
name? Have the thousands of other civilians who have already died as
part of the occupation of Afghanistan also given their lives in our
name?" Chitts asked.
"Of course we don't support the politics and religious fundamentalism
of the Taliban. Initially the Taliban was easily defeated because they
didn't have the support of most Afghanis. Now their ranks are being
swelled, not by people who have suddenly been won over to the Taliban's
view of the World but by people who oppose the puppet regime of thugs
and opium barons whose rule our troops help enforce." he said.
"These members of parliament, both Labor and Coalition vie with each
other to be more `the diggers friend' than the other. Most have never
served in the Defence Force nor left the comforts of their
parliamentary offices. The fact that these politicians use this death
to sell their unpopular and unjustifiable war in Afghanistan is
disgusting. As veterans our thoughts are with Sean's family and all
those still in harm's way in Iraq and Afghanistan. No more blood should
be shed for the profiteers, bring the troops home now," Chitts said.
