The way I look at it, these guys pretty much started out dewy-eyed (except the one who'd already completed a deployment), and then by the time they realised exactly what KIND of war they were going into, it was too late. I think there are definitely cowards in wartime (just like peacetime), but I don't think it's always cowardice that makes people walk away from a war--sometimes it's epiphany. And I'm not completely antiwar, either, but I'm definitely anti-this one (which I know, I know, is a whole 'nother debate. *g*)
Also, I'm not so sure the courts of this country are as trustworthy as they used to be (although I'm not really qualified to say since I've never really had to argue my case in front of one).
