Resistors Not Traitors

One can not fight in a war
when one does not believe in what one is fighting for.
One who would rather serve time in a jail cell
than throw their moral convictions to hell
is just as much a hero in my eyes
as any brave veteran recognized.

Just, like you....to fight in a war in which you do not believe, is committing murder -wholesale, is what I feel. Great write, William. Enjoyed....Peace, Audrey

thanks you, i feel the same why fight for something you do not agree on? America the free, but not when you don't agree with the government.
