Why are americans angry when someone comment on their army?

[catarecute]

war isn't the answer!

Glory is the only form of compensation to the lower recruits so we need to defend that to have a standing army.

I 100% agree with you but make it clear your attacking the decision makers like congress, The Pentagon, defense contractors that used to work in the Pentagon and want to be elected into congress. The self serving loop of the military industrial complex.

Leave the 18 year old recruits alone. Maybe it is there only opportunity to leave a bad economy situation. It's not like they decided what war to start.

[catarecute]

18 year old are old enough to know if something is a bad decision. and the government only has the power that people give them. in France if we have a problem with the government we stand up against them and we get our own way. they can't make us do shit.

[NaultD]

Let's look at it this way would there be a France today without Dday on the beach of Normandy? The army did do arguably good things. I also think our current recruitment in the US has thesame influence then as it does today.

We need to put our lawmakers feet to the fire not necessarily the people who got dooped by them who are easily vulnerable.

world war two i think was different because a psychotic man (hitler) was killing innocent people for no reason so the army had no choice but to do something. apart from world war two. no other actions from them was justifiable.

[NaultD]

That is because of lawmakers, generals and defense contractors.
18 year olds do good work and to make sure they keep doing good work we hold accountable the decision makers of the military.

[catarecute]

18 years old are just teens they should get involved in violence. whats choked me is when i saw a photo a young man who lost all his limbs in irak and george bush was on the photo visiting him at the hospital. gearoge bush made money from the irak war and this poor man lost all his limbs for this. it breaks my heart this poor you man who might never have the change to have a girlfriend and who will spend all his life in a wheel chair and some politicians making all those billions.

[NaultD]

Who's fault is that? Lawmakers, generals, and defense contractors. Not

[SPIRIT208]

But it’s patriotic to think about and have a sense of pride in it

[Anonymous]

Sames like who cares you hate your police force so why like the army which is worse!

[catarecute]

i dont like the army or the police. i dont even like supermarket security guards. i dont like anyone who thinks its ok to kill, torture or lock people up. i dont even like zoos because i think it wrong to lock animals up.

It's because it's all they have to be "proud" of, as it steals from the world, to keep them fed.

[msc545]

Because the truth is that our Army has not won a war since WW II, and its embarassing.

[Pterodon]

That is true and the reason is the executive leadership like Johnson and Biden
