I think my favourite section of one of the pro-ban letters is this... basically, "I'm a moron"




"So, why did I take such a job? Simply, I was uneducated in the matter. I have always felt that the military was a shady thing, best to avoid. But when I was chosen randomly through FSWEP to work for the Department of National Defence (DND) inspecting fire prevention systems, it was a relief to me. I was unhappy about having a student-loan debt and did not know where the money for my next year of university was going to come from. I beg you to not underestimate the mental pressure that unemployment, debt, and social pressures can have on a person trying to listen to the faint voice of their conscience. The voice of a conscience is slight, like a whisper, and it takes great care to listen to it properly. I feel fortunate to have learned this lesson before graduating and being exposed to the risk of taking a more long-term job in the military."

I wonder if said idiot is going to stop paying taxes as well, since that also supposedly makes him complicit in "murder."

Asshat.

Said writer is a student, thus probably pays no taxes and more likely gets a refund of some sort every year... so they could be profiting off of the war machine!
