Correct, Boot Camp is a filter to get rid of people who are unfit for the military, and the quote on the article at the top says "I was not made for war."
It sounded to me like you were smearing all those men who felt they were unfit for war as all cowards, and it still does. You and I both ought to know that not everybody is fit for war. If some of them are wise enough to realize that fact, that is not cowardice. Some people are not fit to fight and that doesn't reflect poorly upon them. That's simply how it has always been. Some are warriors. Some are not. If we dishonor those who are not, that reflects poorly on us, not them.
