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.

Edited by AgentSmallWonder: 1/31/2015 8:00:12 PMWhile I don't necessarily agree with your comment, I would like the add some things; the U.S. Military has double the amount of r.a.p.es that the general population has, and that's just what is reported. Just because someone fought for your freedom doesn't mean they aren't a shitty person still. Is a man who fought in Vietnam a hero? What if he beats his 8 year old son every day when he comes home from school? Is he still the picture of bravery? Yes, we have some heroes in the military. But can we lump everyone who's in the military together as a hero? Edit: because today i learned you can't spell R.a.pe on a Bungie forum without it getting auto edited. Wtf.

I agree, you can still be a POS and serve in the armed services just like any other job, including police. Generally one wouldn't place a blanket statement of negativity on the individuals as a whole for the actions of a statistically small percent.

Edited by bgucci38: 1/31/2015 11:54:26 PMThere's idiots in every form of society, including the military, you idiot trolls wouldn't know anything about combat, being shot or blown up. None of us are in control wether or not we get sent to war. When some wacko starts bombing our country, I'd say that's a good reason to "fight for my country" or "defend my family". You people are idiots. You have no idea what your even talking about

Edited by BA5IM: 1/31/2015 6:14:24 PMIt's funny how everyone is replying with "they risk their lives to protect us" lol Protect you from what? You mean they steal oil for you? Are you really that stupid?
-
What oil was stolen?

[quote]It's funny how everyone is replying with "they risk their lives to protect us" lol Protect you from what? You mean they steal oil for you? Are you really that stupid?[/quote] You don't understand that armed forces protect the country and yet you call others stupid? Ok
-
Protect you from what?? Haha if you're talking about armies that serve the countries who are attacked by the United State those are the ones who protecting their people. The US army is just going around the world killing kids and women.
-
So you think countries are safer without a military?
-
You should have a gun in your house to protect you from your neighbors who have weapons that they bought to protect them from their other neighbors who bought weapons for protection. And it goes on. If we didn't have wars at the first place there would be no need for army. Anyways I'm just saying that America does not need protection because no one is attacking them. They made up 9/11 as an excuse to go -blam!- the middle east and have their oil + making a bad picture about Islam.
-
Dumb troll or mentally retarded?
-
If you think 9/11 was made up you have some very serious reality issues.

Edited by BA5IM: 2/1/2015 1:31:59 AMDo you know anything about airlines and air forces? You think it's possible to just drive an airplane out of it's path towards the biggest building in the most defensive country in the world without them knowing or doing anything? I don't blame them for doing all what they're doing. I blame the people who believe everything they read or hear. With all the education and the technology that Americans have they're the most retarded nation in the world. http://youtu.be/k0RH0cYs4lw

I do know a lot about airspace, airlines, Air Force, etc. Is it possible to fly a plane off course and into a building? In 2001, most definitely. No one was going to shoot a passenger plane out of the sky because they veered off course. If that plane was headed to the White House, it might have been brought down by the Air Force since there is a huge prohibited airspace around it. Your conspiracy theory is a ridiculous one that tops the charts next to Elvis still alive on an alien mothership. Have fun being ignorant, I heard its bliss.

Comes back to the good ol saying.... You hate cause you ain't us... Get bent fagtard

It's called crowd control Also it was stated that we were "asleep at the wheel" Our national defense was embarrassed as they should be. Most powerful nation in the world messed up and paid the price. What you're saying is that our defense is "perfect" which is blatantly false. You referenced a you tube video to help support your claim which is a HUGE fallacy Sure, the towers should have never fallen and building 7 is the only building in the history of EVERYTHING to fall from a structure fire (steel beamed buildings) and I know this, but I still don't know enough to draw a proper conclusion that isn't full of speculation. We Americans know it was a very dirty job and what we were told is not true, but the problem is nothing will come from it and there is nothing we can do. It happened, move on, that's seriously the way the world has been ticking for thousands of years
-
I think your clearly insane. Firstly for not understanding that every country requires an army to protect itself and secondly for thinking America decided to attack itself. This is the problem with the You Tube generation. They've lost touch with what's important and have filled their minds with fanciful conspiracy theories
-
Well, if you wanna talk about logic and insanity. Let's say 9/11 was real. Instead of catching the ones who did it and punish them, you go to their countries, destroy the houses, -blam!- their kids and women. How is that gonna protect you????
-
You must have a short memory.... Who killed Osama bin laden ( dude who is responsible for the 9/11 attacks... Not sure you knew that with amount of ignorance in your remark) -- our armed forces did (seal team 6)
-
So to catch one man you need to go to his country and -blam!- everyone and kill millions of innocents? Are you really that dumb??? Do you even know what your army is doing overseas? Have you seen news from the middle east? How many people died from 9/11? Hundreds or thousands? Compare it to how many people died in Iraq and Afghanistan from the army that's protecting you? MILLIONS. Do you know anything about logic?
-
The Iraq body count project has the count of iraqi deaths at 174,000 from 2003-2013. That's less than 20% of what you're claiming. I'm not saying that war is pretty or even if it was right to be there at all but, I am saying that you're exaggeration of the facts makes your entire argument invalid.
-
You truly are retarded.... You still don't understand... Never will probably... Go back to school dumb bastard

Edited by bgucci38: 1/31/2015 11:45:04 PMFirst off I am a Purple Heart combat veteran Some of you people making comments about the military in such a negative fashion make me sick... What is wrong with you... These soldiers DIE for you.. These peoples families will never see their love ones again so that YOU CAN LIVE A FREE LIFE.. and sit here and troll the hell out of them on this forum! Your pathetic...
-
Don't get aggravated. We have to respect people's comments since it is a right. I don't agree with trolling others for their sacrifice but that is what some choose to do. Just be proud of what you have accomplished.

I'm sorry but the current soldiers don't fight for anyones freedom.
