I think for each person the line in the sand. I don't think you can say where the line is, I think it's a "you just know". And what are the means. Do you mean take up arms, or run for office, protest?

What Scottie said... I don't understand what action you are talking about. To go to Afghanistan and fight it would take orders to go there. To take action within my country... I do it all the time... at the voting booth.

I won't lie... its an incentive. I could go to Iraq next month as a civilian and earn enough to pay off my house when I return. Chloe doesn't want me to go, but its pretty tempting.

Military personnel take an oath to support and defend the Constitution, not "the country" per se. There is no duration given for the oath, but I've never heard of anyone being prosecuted for violating it after their term of enlistment. FWIW, I take it as a life long obligation and have taken it several times over the years as everyone does when promoted or renewing their military contract.

The Oath of Enlistment varies a bit between Officers and Enlisted. - Joining the Military - Military.com

Sweet deal. My brother is deploying to Kandahar province in mid-February for a year. He makes about $60K gross. Only five more years for his 20 in the Army.
