"Support the Troops...?"

A response to mikenh123's private message about the ethics of serving in the military during wartime, and the hypocrisy of killing innocent people only when the reason for going to war seems justified.

@americansRscum Aww, did you get some up the rear? Maybe if you just relax it won't hurt so much. :D

You either take full responsibility for your action or you don't...or not. This, of course, does not mean going back to the old world..

Cries to hypocrisy is not argument.

I do not support 'The Troops' because I do not support their mission. "Support the Troops', as typically used, basically means support the war and honor their 'sacrifice', since to not support it would be to spiritually undermine 'The Troops'. I like a lot of people in the military, but do not support their profession.

To compare ordinary citizens to man raping sodomite soldiers and pretend they are equally culpable is smoke and mirrors simply meant to distract from the reality on the ground- there could be no war without soldiers

I can tell by the way u speak that u love the sound of your own jaws flapping ie ur a bloviating pseudo intellectual windbag trying to cloud the plain facts that americans are genocidal criminals with a lot of historical mumbojumbo and utter bs.

@xxxThePeachxxx Your first argument that the military is OURS is based on the invalid assumption that WE are the government and that WE make the decisions.

What I do agree with is the fact that the citizens are responsible whatever the government does as long as they give their support to the government. Because without the citizens, a government has no power.

Conclusion: We contribute to a system that we find immoral, yet we have no problem the reaping benefits from their immoral acts.

Great piece, this is the reason i still use youtube. One can get quite worn down by the mass of morons.

Keep it up sis!

@rodrigodet You must think the troops are all horrible woman-raping, mean machine, insensitive, dalek people. Maybe when you serve in the front lines youll get a better understanding (not saying I have served btw).
