The evidence indicates that members of the United States military are largely racist sociopaths
as opposed to the romans? as opposed to the persians? as opposed to the british? the red army in ww2?
the fundamental task of soldiers in a war is to kill people who have a different identity to themselves.
war, war never changes etc.

that's true, peace isn't free.. how many american battalions you think it costs? i'd say about three and a rooftop extraction of the CIA via helicopter

You know, I've been giving it some thought, and you do have a point... The red army was good and the US army is bad. I guess, really, the answer IS somewhere in the middle..

obviously the vanquishing of the nazis was a far more noble goal than the subjugation of iraq.
alls i'm saying is that fundamentally, the individual experiences and the dynamic of the soldiers throughout history and throughout the world is probably pretty similar. You've got an enemy whose well-being you are at best indifferent towards, you've got your 'brothers' and you have some sort of ideology that justifies what you're doing.

i was reading that future weapons GIP thread and it really is astonishing how much they sincerely seem to believe that what america needs right now is fucking laser guns.
I dunno, i guess i blame popular culture for giving all these clowns a stupid idea of warblame them for being awful. not every goofy pathology of every broken needledick sociopath is society's fault
gee where do all these idiots get all these ideas from. weird. must be some kind of chemical thing
i read recently that something like 25-30 million Americans were serving or veterans which is quite a lot

Goethestein posted:i like how
when I was younger I always wanted to join the military. My parents were very conservative and encouraged it. and every time someone would speak negatively about the military i felt even more compelled to become a military man due to a sense of nationalism. and it's always the same shit like "you're a fucking murdererer fucker FUCK". But it's like yeah. that's the fucking thing. The military and whatnot have been convincing us that that's the purpose of the troop, and have been very successful at it. It's like telling a mechanic that he's a dope ass engine fixing mother fucker. I'm not sure how it's productive.
It seems like people get a smug sastifaction out of troop hate because it's the lowest of the lowest hanging fruit. It's pretty easy to convice some dum ass hipster that killing people is bad. You get to pat yourself on the back becaue you got somebody on your side on your gay ass fight against imperialism. but in reality you're just having a nice little circle jerk at your fav cafe.
I dunno, im pretty drunk and thats my 2 cents. i didn't read goatsteins post cuz i hate reading his posts. and i never joined the military because i started doing coke at young age. and wooo-eeee what a ride has it been since then
we have a remembrance day thats based in commemorating those who died in real wars but its quite pluralistic, the ruler of the day will always try to make it about our brave boys dying for his personal adventure but mostly ppl use it a way to discuss how its A Bit More Complicated Than That

this is actually a pretty interesting point. has there been anything written on how you foster a 'people's army' where national ideology isn't incidental and sociopathy isn't an a priori requirement for the guys doing the grunt work? or has it always been that you just thank the lord that you have a standing army at all whose sociopathy can be directed at a worthy cause.

story please
there's a cute girl i know that really wanted to spit on soldiers but was afraid of being hit by them, and i told her she didn't have to worry because the same bizarre code of honor that allows troops to murder children in iraq tells them they can't hit a girl, but she was still scared so she put all this padding under her shrt to make her look pregnant and it owned so hard, she spit on them and the look on those dumb sheep's faces was one of total perplexion and you could actually see them searching for a course of action, you could read their transparent thoughts right in their eyes, but the problem with the fake pregnancy thing was that it would always give them an outlet, they'd always get on a soapbox and start talking about how it was thanks to them that her child would be able to be free so once she got a little more comfortable she ditched that safety net and now she just gets all nasty with them, screams at them and spits on them and dares them to beat the shit out of her, she a cute girl like 5'1 or something but totally full of venom like you wouldn't believe and she's a fixture now when these troops are coming thru dc and is really the best there is now at educating those dumb apes, and one time one of them actually did snap and slap her in the face and it gave her a busted lip and the whole crowd was like gasping tghat he would hit a woman and she loved every second of it and he was owned. btw huey this is karen im talking about rofl so you can just imagine what its like.
ya khamsek's mom freaking owns
