My anti-military thread..

[Hasbinbad]

No, I'm holding individuals who perpetuate an organization responsible for the actions of that organization.

[Hasbinbad]

There is no such thing as a Good German.

[Tippett]

the individuals responsible for the actions of that organization are the voters who vote in congressmen who as an entity have the real decision making power for what our military is ordered to do

so you are not anti military, you are anti average US citizen

[Hasbinbad]

The military could not function without soldiers, seamen, airmen, and marines. Therefore all troops are culpable for holding up the military.

But you're also right about average citizens being culpable as well.

When a hitman kills, the killer as well as the employer can be charged with murder.

Except the average citizen isn't the employer.
The average citizen is just another victim.

And really thats all military people are: actual or latent contract killers.

[Hasbinbad]

And you don't even have the balls to embrace your proud mercenary heritage. Instead you lie (mostly to yourselves) and euphemize your "getting paid to possibly have to kill other people" to "service," which brings me no end of laughter.

i get paid to conduct military photographical/videographical documentation for operational/historical purposes

and by "service" I do what I am ordered to do by the commander in chief ( who takes orders from congress ) who is voted in by the average us citizen

so yes i do "serve" the average us citizen as they are the ones who command me where to go and what to document

So if a "real" war broke out they couldn't put your boots on the ground if they felt they needed to?

"Serve" is not generally used in that sense by military people and you know it.
