If someone is a devout  Christian, or merely a libertarian believer in natural rights and individual responsibility, he can't deny the logic of  Laurence Vance's arguments on military service. Vance's belief that enlisting is morally wrong is uncomfortable, but the unadulterated  truth rarely is easy to swallow.

This is  especially important when talking to  fellow young people considering military service. If members of  YAL aren't going to speak the truth, no other group of young people will.
