I find it hard to really care about this, but the media is making it on par with treason or a Britney Spears clam shot.
He has personal views on the US government in general and chose not to go. Media asked why, he answered truthfully and the media blows it up because that's what the media does.
Let say he chooses not to go and just keeps his mouth shut. Media digs and digs and blows it up because that's what the media does.
Lets say he chooses to ignore his personal beliefs and goes. I'm sure the media would find something on his personal beliefs and blow it up, because that's what the media does.
I'm surprised that in a world that seems to believe you should stand up for what you believe in, he's being chastised for doing just that. And furthermore in a world that seems to hate the American govt. for everything they do, he is being hung for stating his views on them.
I can't believe I just spent that much time typing it out because I really couldn't give a shit what he does.
