Ooh poow widdwe Jimmy ... you know who didn't have a choice? the kids whose heads he blew off. I don't care if he had a choice in going there or not, Jimmy doesn't deserve a blink of sleep for the rest of his miserable cunting life if he didn't knowingly miss every single shot.

"though your path may be set, you can gain as much speed down that path as you would like"

means, even if they had to go to war, they could have missed shots on purpose.

Nobody was "forced" to go to Iraq.

For some reason, people think it's ok to pull others down to get ahead but only in the context of the military. There are other ways to escape poverty, like selling crack or scamming the elderly. I wonder if you condone those approaches as well because "they didn't have another choice if they wanted to escape poverty." I doubt it. But if the victims aren't people in our own neighborhoods who you can actually see, if it's dead children on another continent who the news doesn't talk about, then somehow it's perfectly fine.

Everyone in that position who chooses to work at McDonald's or Walmart or Amazon instead of signing up to murder foreigners is a better person than every troop, they are braver, more ethical, more heroic, and more enlightened. The cowards who pull others down to get ahead deserve no respect and no sympathy.

If the choice is "be an acomplice to the destruction of an entier country and it's people" and "don't get a discount code for college", like, surely we can see that's not really a good excuse.
