I have always hated that question.
I am more offended by Will's inference than I am of my question.
While I support the troops, I cannot help but to feel that there are murderers and down-right absolute evil people in the U.S. Armed forces.
I treat the armed forces as if it were the American people... are Americans murderers? Well, no, but there are some who all.
There is a huge consideration you are missing. people are screened before going into the .mil, they are not to be "Americans".... And this is not the point of wills comments. I am simply addressing them
Are there "murderers" in the Armed forces? I am sure there may be a small few. However, posting propaganda videos and claiming we are purposefully and wantonly killing civillians is a most abhorrent anti-troop bs statment to make. And one I only find uttered behind the anonymity of the internets.
I also find a slight bit of frustration towards those who can kill on command. I have a gung-ho buddy, who was all about killing hadjis and arabs and terrorists, and whatever else he could find to call them. After a few days of playing in the sand, he is not so sure...
I think war is more unimaginable than I can conceive
It is.
