I have really mixed feelings about soldiers. I know that most of them think they're doing the right thing. Society is steeped in this thinking - so much so that people are willing to see their children sacrificed for things that have nothing to do with American national security. Soldiers are young, without much life experience behind them. As a result, they don't really think about what they're doing and the implications, until they're in the middle of war and getting PTSD. By then it's too late. Some just go nuts and see anything that moves as a target. If they have latent psychological problems, they're made worse. Some probably go in as sadists, like the ones who shoot dogs, throw puppies off cliffs, and rape young girls. The military has recruited gang bangers, too, so that's another element of degenerate.
Posing with kills is sick, yes, but that Wikileaks video of Americans shooting reporters and innocent people from helicopters is just as sick. It's so removed and clinical. It's like kids stepping on ants and laughing about it. Guys like that will come home and be called heroes and lauded as patriots. Look again and see if you think these guys aren't committing cold blooded murder:
