When I spent 2 years at Syracuse University helping 273 draftees avoid going to the failed Vietnam war, I was completely surprised by the military: they were smart, willing to listen, and amazingly, decided to let 273 war protesters not go to the war.
This was in stark contrast with the civilian authorities (the Draft Board) who were deaf, dumb and blind in comparison. So this led me to watch this strange TEDx where the talk was on "Why I chose a gun" http://www.ted.com/talks/peter_van_uhm_why_i_chose_a_gun.html -- Owen
