Neither! They should get out of the military in protest resignation instead, as Colonel Matthew Hoh did Re: The dilemma of a Muslim in the US armed forces, to kill fellow Muslims or to kill fellow US soldieers ?

instead, as Colonel Matthew Hoh himself did. This is, as Hoh put it,
to let him tell the American people that this war is wrong: morally
wrong and a total waste of money and the country's resources, its
human resources especially.
This is so that the American people from Iowa, Arkansas, Missouri,
Mississippi, Nebraska, . . . have something vivid to call their
Congressmen and Congresswomen about and say they should stop funding
the wars in the Middle East and Central Asia now and tell Obama to
bring all Americans home in order to rebuild our country, which has
been spent by nearly eight years of war that George W Bush started
with big lies.
And remember, every life is precious to their loved ones.
