That is a naive statement. How do B52 bombers targeting cities keep civilian casualties down. The military propaganda wants people to believe in their good intentions but it is still about stealing the land and resources of other countries. Read Howard Zinn's "A Peoples History of the United States" and then get back to me.

Maybe you were never in the military but once you are you do not have the final say. Disobeying a direct order gets you court marshaled. While you wait for trail you are in "jail" and the time served does not go against your military obligation. And how many Germans were just saying they "followed orders" at the death camps. The ruling class promotes racism and violence to distract us from them stealing our money. The bankers are the prime example.

THere wasn´t just one Sand Creek, there were many. THe whole world knows about this genocide and will never forget it. It´´s the best for america to say sorry for this like Australie apologized themselves toward the aborigines and the germans to the Jews. ANd then, there must be talked about reparations. This is the only way to rehabilitade the honor of america.

You won today's price for most stupid end of a movie... and therefore you also are the wanker of the month !! Gratz...

@pim1234 You mean innocent women and children aren't be slaughtered in Iraq. Wake up to the colonial nightmare that is American foreign policy and always has been. Read Howard Zinn's "A Peoples History of the United States" and then get back to me. Until then you are just another uninformed loudmouth.

I was as soldier in vietnam and for you to claim you are fighting for me is a bunch of bullshit. You are the victim of American military propaganda. You are fighting for the rights of the ruling class to steal the natural resources of other countries. You are the ignorant one young man. Wake up to the fact that the US continues it age old policies of colonial aggression. Ninety percent of the casualties in Iraq are civilians. So don't tell me innocent people aren't dying.
