I personaly believe that there will always be enough people to fill the armed forces, but anyone that is truly inot Jah cannot really believe in what the US is doing to other people. It is Babylon spreading out, and aims to control more and more. If I am to understand the Rasta people and their plight with oppression, this war is nothing like what they had to face. The US is now the oppressor of other people no matter how they may want to candy coat it to be in our best interest. It is not in my best interest to oppress any people. peace.

I agree. I have met alot of young people who are joinging the army as a means to survive. I believe they think it is a security there and that the army will take care of them. Maybe so but at what cost to their spirit. I was in that place years ago, and I just got on a bus with some material belonging and left the situation behind. That is pretty much how I ended up in Montana. People feel traped and helpless, but thier is always a way through it in Jah. Peace
