Fort Hood Texas Shooting

You? Bullshit.

 

He would see the swastika.. but in his homeland India ( The swastika is there a holy symbol.... )

Well in Europe u see the military in general as something bad. Since I don´t know exactly how the military is seen in Britan, i can talk only for Germany.
In the 90´s there was lawsuit that forbidds to call soldiers murders. In the more left view still soldiers are murders( People just not allowed to say it anymore). The Military is not seen here as something good, but as a threat to freedom, peace and democratcie. When my father heared that I tried to join the Germany military a while ago, he was realy pissed of ( but not because something could happen to me, more because he just hates the military in general).
The military is not very respected in Germany.

Here people was always against sending soldiers to the middle east and Afganistan, and people realy don´t like the fact that we still have soldiers there. I know also other european countries removed thier soldiers from there like spain.

The view of the military is a little diffrent in the states I guess.

 

Do u realy think that people have choice when they cannot find a good job???
Many go to the miltary to get an education. and to get better chances in thier lifes.
People in the US- Military are often from familiy from not so good social backround. So they are forced to go to the miltary......
U are not walking in thier shoes to judge them!!!

 

POJ, I have just followed your lead and I must say, this board suddenly got a lot more real.

 

They have no excuses - there are HUNDREDS of different jobs available to non-College graduates. There are also hundreds of training courses avialable to them. Only one - the Police - involves state-sanctioned murder. They CHOOSE to set their morals aside and agree to murder.

You're damn right, I'm glad I don't walk in their shoes. But I've been broke before, early in my adult life; I didn't sell my soul.

 

yes but u life in europe!!!!! that is totaly diffrent from the US!
U have a healt insurence and school is payable!! that all don´t aply to the states!
Plus the military is seen in the us totaly diffrent from the people!!!
U are underestimating the level of propaganda and how much it influneces that what people think !!!


And I don´t say that u should be glad that u don´t don´t walk thier shoes!!!!
U don´t walk there so u have no right to judge!!!:smt071

 

I do not think that there would be any Western families that have not had a relative that has fought in a war.

My Grandfather was a paratrooper and fought in WWII between 1940-1945. I am truly grateful to him and the other men and women who put their lives on the line.

 

that's because he's watched too many movies. I doubt this guy has spent any real time getting to know real military personnel, ranging from aspiring lieutenants in ROTC courses (tasked with learning military theory and application); to first sergeants and officers, with tried and true army experience. They're people just like any other on the board, given (or looking to be given) the responsibility of serving their country, whether in defense or the opposite.

Developing a faux-understanding of a fraternity of people, based upon what you see in the media, is not a thorough way of going through life.

 

He is one individual who happens to be in the military and an officer, for his motives who knows?, he's now a serial killer, I did ten years in the army and in my time served I've seen alot of crazy shit, The fact that he was a mental health doctor leaves something to wonder, nonetheless he was a flawed human as we all are, No sympathy for him as a human being, but he is far from what the military is all about or the good men and woman who serve our great country!

 

just goes to show you......

 

I had relatives in the military and they did a good job in serving my country. This sick example of a human being is himself a animal.

 

Unbelievable.. I am glad I will never have to walk in your shoes, Jaybee - you must be one very deluded little man.

You're attitude stinks

 

Nothing little about me, dear, you would have a hard time walking straight in my size 11's.

 

sad sad sad.....
He apparenlty doesnt realize that without the army, the rest of us would not live in freedom.... its an unthankful job and its attroicoius how veterans get treated.
Must be nice to live in denial.....

 

Some people are just stupid, babe. Stupidity doesn't discriminate against race, religion, sex, nationality, sexuality, money...it strikes idiots regardless of station in life.

 

As I have already said- deluded

 

And now she's repeating herself. Anyone have any birdseed?

 

Nothing online pisses me off, it's all just words on a screen. And your post wasn't too long, but so I don't make my own reply too long, just how detailed a set of answers do you want? Do you actually want the answers at all, or are you asking rhetorically?

 

I would never ask a question that I didn't want the answer to. Other people's POV intrigues me, especially when it is so vastly divergent from my own. So by all means, have at it.
