War resisters do not deserve our support nor taxpayer money unless they were drafted (against their will) and forced to serve in violent combat.

 

These men and women (modern Americans, not Vietnam Vets) knowingly joined the US Military for their own benefit (Education, $). Why would you expect NOT to have to be put into combat in this situation? When you join a military, you do not get to pick and choose your battles. This is part of the contract. Canada should not turn into a haven for those who get skittish at living up to their end of the bargain. Don't want to fight? Don't join the military.
