So true, look at these stellar examples from our armed services. Murdered the mother, father, and 5 year old sister of a 14 year old girl before raping and killing her, too.

Winning hearts and minds.

yes and that is what percentage of the overall US military force stationed there?

If anyone based their overall opinion of Anandtech off your asinine posts, the only two here would be you and dmcowen674.

I'm always against Nation Building because it can go on for decades and it ends up not working. Sigh...such foolish behavior that's getting so many people killed.

I don't think its so much that, as outing that nuisance and terrorist harborer, and installing, or attempting to install, it is way too early to tell, some form of civilization in an area of chaos.


We take for granted the lines and borders marking out many of the world's nations; however, that's all they are; lines. I talked to an Iranian, an Afghani, and an Iraqi, and they moved to America because of all the bull shit going on in the Middle East; the Afghani told me that his family was essentially a huge clan, because only a clan could look after itself, and shoot the raiders and such who would attack and ransack villages and towns and such if they could.


The Middle East is really, "The Wild Wild, East."


And this isn't a racial attack, it's a cultural attack.

That's all you care about? One isolated incident? Your bigotry is overwhelming. You try to pass off five sick fucks as the whole armed services? You, barbarian, are nothing more than the scum you try to look down upon. You're probably some young revolutionary, aren't you? What are you going to do next? Say that the guy who shot up the mall recently represents America? What kind of narrow minded piece of useless fecal matter are you?

And by the way, he said marines, not soldiers; these miserable morons were army punks. But of course to your narrow mind, they're all the same.

It worked well For Japan.

And the Marshall Plan worked great for Europe, too.

To satisfy your cravings, here are two marines who murdered 24 Iraqi civilians.

This war has produced pages full of "isolated incidents".

 

[SSSnail]

If ANY soldiers from this conflict are to be charged with war crimes, then the chain of command should be justly punished as well, all the way up to the Commander in Chief.

"What was that?"
"We're getting shot at."

Wow. I suppose you get used to that after awhile but I'd be scared shitless regardless. That guy took it like he was talking about the weather.

That shot at the window got a "Holy Shit" out of me as well.

Jpeyton,

You seem focused only to point out the faults in our military service members, almost seems that you take pride in it as well. I might even question as to your level of patriatism; however, your comments havn't got to that level yet. Why don't you mention about the horrific tactics of the insurgents that they have used against us. I've seen first hand during a middle of an engagement several insurgents would use women and children as human sheilds then make sure to have a video camera nearby aka AL-Jazeera recording the deaths of this women and children and placing the blame on us saying that that's all we target and making us seem ruthless and without any morals. You seem so quick to judge the actions of our service members, may I ask have you ever had any combat experience? What makes you think that you have the knowledge to criticize what goes on? All you can do is get second hand probaly mostly third hand information. Have you ever had the curiosity as to get it first hand? I unfortunatly have had first hand experience in Anbar and Bagdhad. Please let qualified personnel criticize what is going on in OIF and OEF. You as a US citizen should be backing up your militiary service members.

I doubt they are doing it just for the money. I'm sure the money helps. I'm happy we offer them a little bit extra spending change. I got a raise. So should they.

WOW!! yea that's a low blow. I didn't think we were under a dictator, but anyway just shows how much you know. Like I've said before to other people, supporting the military is not synonymous with supporting current heads of office. We only enforce policy, we don't create it.

Uhmm. You're a tool. I'm just going to put it like that. You don't have to be a rabid patriot, you can just be indifferent, or not open that hole in your head covered by a fat flapping lip.

Oh, I'm sure you have stockpiled these you little creep?

I'm not satisfied. You're just some useless tool, a slink of the media. I'm not buying this one, because Insurgents have a history of just hiding in civilian dress, and being little pussies, because they know their anti American ass would get blown out of the little caves they hide in if they revealed themselves.

Go back to your own hut you worthless little skulk.


And to all other soldier bashers; you're free to have your own deluded and worthless opinions, but trying to sound cool or revolutionary, you're just revolting little shmucks, and voicing an opinion that actually makes sense is fine, but to bash people who fight, who stand up, who face terrors that would make you shrivel into the little pulp you consist of, that's a low--the only low below that is child molesting, so if it gives you any comfort knowing you're different, you're only a little less different than a child molester, satisfied now?

And, FYI, those that you are labeling "insurgents" are actually "heroes" in their country. Much like if a foreign force was to occupy this US of A, I'd be an "insurgent" in heart beat.

I agree, but keep in mind that only the radicals on either side get off on their opinion. There's a pretty silent moderate majority who have reasonable views, they just don't get much attention. The reason I never venture into Political Forums is because 99% of those people have already made up their minds, and nothing I say on this level will matter. Said people are just blabbing off and looking for some positive reinforcement.

Debate and Arguing are two different things. In a debate, you're open to new ideas, and debate the issue to learn more and expand your horizons. In an argument, you're ejaculating to the sound of your own voice and brainwashing yourself simultaneously.

 

[Saulbadguy]

I don't think soldiers are heroes. I don't feel the need to clap for them or anything like that. However I think many would appreciate not being made a spectacle in public, they are just doing their jobs. Just as I think true patriots don't need to wave a flag, affix a ribbon, or thank a soldier. It's all good.

I've said that oath and given it as well to re-enlist soldiers. This is the officers oath FYI:

"I, _____ (SSAN), having been appointed an officer in the Army of the United States, as indicated above in the grade of _____ do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign or domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservations or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office upon which I am about to enter; So help me God." (DA Form 71, 1 August 1959, for officers.)

Now as far as enemies within? I mean soldiers don't have to follow orders if it is an unlawful one. I never issue orders that are up for debate nor have I ever recieved orders that I would question, either ethically or morally. I don't know if I answered your question or not. If not can you please be a little more direct please.

Of course they would. Brainwashing is a terrible thing.

Re-enlistment rates are the highest they have ever been for the US Armed Forces.

So are re-enlistment bonuses.

Believe me, most of them can make more money in the private sector than their current duties in the armed service. They do it for reasons beyond money, something people like you will never understand but should be grateful they can comprehend it.

my dad was in iraq for 12 month and made more money then he did in the previous 3 years. if he had stayed another 6 months, he would have made almost as much in the 6 months as he did in the previous 12.
