Those who Claim People in the Military are Fighting for our Freedom/Defending Us

[Dole4011]

OP, I feel you, bro.

I saw Canadian troops in Afghanistan.

Canadian Troops have a huge complex about 50yards away from the US PRX Shop on Kandahar. We used to go over to the Canadian Welfare centre and chill out with those guys watching Ice Hockey.

Weren't very many Canadian pacifists around there.

I kinda agree with the OP. They say they are fighting for their country and their freedom. Their country or their freedom is not in danger. They are fighting another countrys war, that has no impact on their country. (not when it comes to freedom and safety of their own country at least)

Sure, its nice that they help other countries, but I also want to facepalm when I hear those lines.

I loved hanging out with them, they had some very cool guys. They were just like us but with American accents and equipment.

LOL? Why would I need someone to protect me against communism or socialism?


I defiantly would not want anyone to die because they thought they where protecting me from socialism...

Fear me! I'm a socialist terrorist operating in Sweden!

You monster! Where is GI Joe when I need them!?

So Pearl Harbor was a threat, but I take it 9/11 wasn't?

Lolwut?

Laughing about that comparison is somewhat uhmm.. stupid almost?
Let's compare... Pearl Harbor as an attack during war which raged for years already... A legitimate Army carried out an attack for strategic reasons against a military base of another country. one country attacked another..... So far for that....

9/11 was a Terror attack, carried out by terrorists which had no connection to any other countries army. They were not under order by any other military power, and the attack happened outside of any war.

Here we have the two differences. Those reflect perfectly the actions taken after 9/11. An alliance of almost countless countries provided everything from financial contribution to actively sent troops to Afghanistan to help to hunt down the terrorists.
The approval rate for the hunt of Al Qaeda across the planet was well above 90%... There were 130 something countries involved one way or another.
The tables turned when the USA turned it's back on that focus, and chose to invade Iraq, over non existent WMD's (which was clear before the invasion even started). Then the support crumbled.

Says the punk from Chicago that flips burgers for a living.

Says the highschool dropout who joined the military as a final attempt to not be a loser in society, guess the military didn't work out for you since you are on MMO champion making fun of people with jobs while you get paid to sit on your ass and play xbox.

You say it like it's a bad thing.

Touchy subject I'm almost surprised there isn't more hate for the OP.

All in all though it is funny how America fools themselves into thinking their army is anything more then a global bully force keeping everyone in the world under their thumb with no interests other then greed.

The US military/dependence on the military sealed its fate as eternal "jerks" (in place of a more accurate word that would threaten to get me banned) when they defied the UN and just bullied their way into IRAQ where they had no place in being.

Without the US military, its economy would be a joke.
Those three meals you can afford every day? You owe that to the military. You might not like it, but you do.

Have a nice meal.

Glad I don't live in a country that has such a terrible dependence on an army of jerks.

Don't get me wrong there are lots of individuals in the army that are good people but as a whole the American army is just shameful in what they do and what they claim it is.

Most of us are pretty used to it, ignorance is a common trait nowadays.

And if they didn't choose to serve we would be forced to like in Vietman. Do you not understand this? If there were not enough volunteers they would re-institute the draft. The wars will be fought and the fact that they didn't force you should give cause to respect those who did fight on your behalf.

I would like to see them try it. Vietnam will ensure that we will never have another draft. If a war is indeed virtuous people will enlist, like in WWII. I would enlist to stop the Nazi regime if it was called for, but I refuse to go and terrorize brown people.

So no, I do not have to respect those that fight for my war mongering government simply because. I respect the ones that speak out on how big of a disaster the war is. Those are the real heroes.

Ironic statement considering military personnel are anything but social losers - as demonstrated by the main topic of this thread.

Anyone who calls out the army on their bullshit war is considered ignorant or a hater, a typical ungrateful citizen. All hail the united states army.

This post reeks of someone still in the K-12 range of their education themselves.

Ironic that you managed to pull out social loser out of being paid to do nothing.

Everyone is ignorant to some extent. I have yet to find someone who is informed about every subject manner in existence.

I pulled it right out of what you wrote: "Says the highschool dropout who joined the military as a final attempt to not be a loser in society"

Your hatred of all things military is positively endearing.

It's called a "Military Presence". It reminds people that we're here and we're the top dogs.

Holy shit, there's so many edgy mcedgerton's in here it's ridiculous. The military is just a job. I wake up every day and go to work, just like some of you. I just get paid less to do it.
