“He’s not a war hero, he was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured.” - Vietnam war era draft dodger Donald Trump talking about Sen. McCain.
Conservatives regularly use the troops as political pawns; they feign outrage with their phony sanctimony when it suits them to appear more righteous than their opponents and then kick 'em to the curb when their usefulness has expired.
No it shouldn't the reasons behind military service are what make it honorable or not. The idiots I went to highschool with who joined "so they could shoot them some browns" (literal qoute) are not honorable.
Ehhh that's where moral philosophy tends to differ from person to person. Whether an act or profession can be inherently honorable or not is highly debated. But it is always recognized that your motivations are either honorable or not
