Two wrongs don't make a right. We should hold our soldiers to higher standard than that. BTW those are Iraqi civilians in the pics you posted...
Child, Please. Fight in a damned war first before you start making judgments on the behavior of soldiers. Actually try carrying a rifle, charge the enemy, see one of your buds take a bullet and lie dying. As far as holding our men to a higher standard, we've been doing that for decades. Do you really want to start comparing armys? And to the buttwipe that suggested that "they're soldiers" and you expected that behavior from them, a big FU.
RACK THE MARINES! Those dead cowards deserve much worse. If only this could have been done while they were still alive.
I'd love to see your weak sauce internet warrior act as you confront ANY service man/woman coming home from deployment with the sentence above. You'd probably have a slight limp for the rest of your life.
That would be me:grin: I could never be in the army, I would not be able to Kill another person who's only fault is being born in another country and joining the army because he wants to protect his country. IMHO there is no difference between a US soldier and a Soldier in any other country of the world. But I get the feeling that people (especially in the army) have to demonize the soldiers from the other countries, and actions like these are a result of that. if you do not see them as terrible persons you cannot kill them (Atleast I hope so). The people who do stuff like this are bad people. There would be an outrage, among the people who do not think this is a big deal, if the dead were US soldiers.
Its not weak sauce...plenty of people join the forces because school or society prevents them from making it here. Its the truth. We have a decent portion of the military that go because they want to go or because the family has served the USA for generations and its part of the culture of their family...and then we have a good portion of the military that are, more or less, worthless in society. Thats just the fact of the matter.
