The results were kind of heartening:

"A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Wed Aug 28, 2013, 06:43 PM, and voted 4-2 to HIDE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT and said: Volunteering to join the military to defend the nation so that 99Forever can spew their bile is not being a tool of the 1%. I have yet to meet anyone in the military who wanted to go to war.
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT and said: I seriously believe that most young people enlist because they are poor, uneducated, lied to and don't think that they will end up killing people. They are promised jobs in "communications' or some "stateside" office job. I feel truly sorry for 99% of our vets. of course there are some very bad apples, but that happens in every vocation.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT and said: Ugly comment."
