Why do americans treat their troops as if they are some kind of super heros? they do a job, they get paid.
I have yet to read a reply here that ~I would consider reasonable, it all seems like blind patriotism. Why don't I see threads thanking nurses and doctors, teachers etc people that actually better the lives of others, thank them instead of thanking people whose sole purpose is to kill and destroy.

No, they don't need to keep their opinions to themselves. Don't get me wrong: I absolutely share your ideals about vets, and the respect they deserve. I was raised on that. But, the point of freedom is the ability to have differing opinions, no matter how angry they may make us.

Brothers and sisters while this person may not be American I would like to offer him the same quote I offer everyone who starts this argument. I may not agree with what you have to say, but I will defend to the destination your right to say it. While we're on the subject though you go ahead and give peace a chance my friend. I'll cover you in case that doesn't work out for I am not in the business of peace I am in the business of defending my country and while you may fail at your job I will not fail at mine

[quote]I may not agree with what you have to say, but I will defend to the destination your right to say it.[/quote] Irrelevant, I'm not american nor am I in america, as much as your ego lets you think ,nothing you get paid to defend impacts my right to free speech.

Edited by Sovereign Man: 1/31/2015 3:01:53 PMI don't care what your opinion is, right or wrong. I'm not debating that with this comment. I'm here to inform you that there is a better, more civil way to go about supporting your argument rather than being a massive-passive aggressive prick.

It's simple really Because they are gods. The greatest fighting force on earth, also from the greatest country ever.
-
Greatest? Hardly.

Trust me. Even the unbiased opinion, divorced from xenophobia, would tell you that the US military is the most powerful fighting force on earth, apart from dozens of nations banding together. It's just a fact.
-
Having the largest military, with a bloated budget, running a silent dictatorship, does not make us great.

As long as you're already filthy rich and affluent. The rest are your slaves.

What I like best are the tax loopholes, geoengineering, corporate personhood, villainisation of the poor, and most favourite; the environmental deregulation that is contributing to the fifth mass extinction. I also loved operation paperclip, and operation northwoods. Both, awesome. Murikkkuh!

Lol US forces are a joke. They just have numbers, nothing more.

Dumbass

What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

It's cool to pee your pants.

Compared to us English. I think the statement I made is quite true, is it not?

Go learn your history and then talk the U.S. armed forces are thee highest trained forces in the world we only have about 3 million people in the U.S. vs china who has about 5 million people in the armed forces but they dont have the weaponry that the U.S. has there is a reason the U.S. is the leading super power

Edited by Iucidium_1982: 1/31/2015 5:57:41 AMUS own China trillions Read 'the art of war' Why fight when you can cripple a nation with debt?
-
I wasnt talking about debt i know the U.S. ows china trillions. It was about how the U.S. has a smaller but better military (smaller meaning less people serving)

They are the 3rd largest in terms of head count. It's because they have money and technology. Head count means nothing in today's army, just more bodies to clean up.
