The armed forces - Are they really "Thugs?"

[Rainbowhawk1993]

I think it's time to settle this dispute once and for all. I know that some people think that people in the military, perferabley the U.S. Military, are veiwed as thugs who are trained top hurt people on any order.

Yes, the U.S. did make mistakes with their military power in certan points of history like U.S. indian removal, Vietnam and the troops in Iraq. And I know how people can be lead to belivie it all from watching Avatar. But, are they the worst kind of people in the world through out history? Well I know other armys that are worse:



So, do you think you should be bashing americans for little mistakes rather than people like these?

One more thing, what do these pictures say about the U.S. and other armies?



The U.S. military maybe imperfect, but many of the men who serve in them fight for reasons the Na'vi do: Honor, Family and to save lives. I will explain more when the thread picks up. Care to continue?
