If Mr. Wilson and others like him would spend less time endeavoring to support their selfish motives, and more time reflecting on their obligations to the country that provided their education, perhaps the enemy would be less encouraged in their continuing aggression. Perhaps if Mr. Wilson et al. would face up to these obligations, they might discover that the training gained in the service would make them more hireable and give them the intangible reward of having served...
