Keith, I know you may THINK it is . . . but everything isn't about YOU. If one--that's ANYONE, Keith (please note, your name is not specifically attached)--enlists in the military, they're making a rather unique offer concerning defense of the Constitution, and protection of EVERYONE's rights. They've given up choice. Uncle Sam gets to send them wherever, whenever. And some of them don't come back. There are plenty of other ways to stand up for the 2nd Amendment. Valuable ways, but different. Perhaps Keith--now this IS for you--you can tell me just ONE other way that equals the commitment one makes by serving in the military. Under what other circumstances does one offer to put his life on the line for the Constitution and his country--and leave his fate entirely in the hands of the government?
By the way . . . you're confused on the Bergdahl situation. What the president said about Bergdahl did not get him off the hook for desertion. His case is currently under appeal concerning some of the evidence, but he's facing a general court martial. That's the highest level of military justice. And he could receive life in prison, given the charges he faces. It does not look likely that he's going to walk away free.
