Here is the short and succint appeal for redress. It appears to be a grassroots effort. Here’s the Nation’s article about the soldiers’ call for withdrawl.
A common theme in the soldiers’ comments is that they feel they were “brainwashed” [sic] by the government and feel betrayed. Education and economic opportunity for all has created thinking people who will not kill out of ignorant malice or economic necessity. Coercion (conscription) is out for the foreseeable future [how to filter out potential troublemakers?].
What will The Man do now?
I predict autonomic robotic soldiers in 20 years. Robots have no feelings. One person can control lots of them.
Who cares about whether the inaccurate first generation robots kill more than humans? Each war in history has been bloodier than the last.
And robots will be far more expensive than humans. All the better for the military industrial complex.
The Man always finds a way.
