Horrendous!

Not to stick up for what they allegedly did but they say more Sargents were shot in the back & killed during WW2 by their own Men than by the enemy ... Might be partly racially motivated racism or jealousy maybe one of the other guys wanted the wife.

I usually agree with your posts Rod, but this one struck a chord. Even if your assertion were true, what is the correlation between the battlefield fragging of an officer and raping, robbing, and killing a sergeant and his wive in their home in America?

I meant these guys are trained killers maybe they couldnt stand him...The raping & robbing part I don't understand & I was'nt aggreeing with it just stating a bit of reality but doesnt justify it...Trying to understand in my own mind...Youre right.Probly a bad statement on my part in the first place.

These "trained killers" are not taught execution techniques, so lets stop pretending that is an excuse. This is a random event. Killing is done all throughout history effecting all walks of life. Only the media holds certain people to higher standards and only the public is dumb enough to believe it. Sensationalism sells people. Pull it in a notch. Non story here, move along.

The military should be held to higher standards the media has nothing to do with it.

If we accept this as a non story then our society goes down another notch on the ladder of decay.

Killing one of your "brothers" is nearly as bad as it gets.

the military will enlist anyone these days to meet enrollment numbers. thats a fact too. there undermanned so they come at these guys with scholarship offers, etc. and then become threatening if somebody pulls out. these guys think they should be treated as god when they come back, but they volunteered to go over there. nobody put a gun to there head. the current us military is a joke.

A few bad apples...

If you don't stand behind us feel free to stand in front.

I see you on here every day enjoying your freedom of speech.

The military has a history of enlisting "troubled" youth to a small degree and in most cases molding them into productive citizens.

Most returning vets that I have met do not possess this "god' complex you mention, quite the opposite.

Your worst post ever. imho :finger:

Amen!

i'll stand by that. the current Us military is. they prey on young people who don't have direction. they break there promises in terms of benefits to returning soldiers, scholarship money, etc. they have no standards. you walk into the local recruiting office and you walk out a soldier, thats how desperate they are now. no exams of the people, limited background checks. the standard is low, there's no denying that.

You are so misinformed it's frightening. You walk out of a recruiting office as an enlistee. Have you ever heard of basic training? Standards for enlisted men have always been low on the front end and equally high once you get in. That's what officers and training are there for. The vast majority (read: nearly all) benefits to returning servicemen have been and continue to be paid as promised. We may disagree as to how they are deployed, I will grant you that, but to call the current military a joke is not only incorrect, but irresponsible and in wartime borderline treason. If this was done just to get a reaction, you are successful.

maybe 30-40 years ago. its a joke now though. historically standards have been higher, which is why i said the CURRENT military operation is a joke.

Again you are misinformed. Were the standards higher during the draft for Vietnam? Uh...no.

The only part of the military I see as a joke is allowing Women into battle zones & on ships ect.If i was in the Military I would'nt want to be taking orders off of some dyke.Thats got to be hard to take for most guys in the military whether they admit it or not & if they don't they are lying.

What about Marines raping Japanese girls every year on the bases in Japan? Or Men marines killing woman Marines like the two in the last 6 months here. I could go on and on. The point is people like you keep Nancy fucking Grace the top viewing show on CNN. Its a disgrace. These are such small random events, they dont require the public's attention...afterall, what are you going to do about it? This doesnt make society better. You want to make society better, bring it up a notch by doing something rather then sitting here worrying about such events. You fucking TV vampires make me sick. Always out for blood.

 

[piccolo]

What? People now agree that service men are just as normal as every other person in america?

I do remember many morons calling me dumb because i called out some dumbass retard on this forum who wanted a bj because apparently he has "served" me and my country in war..

I am still laughing at his dumbass!!! Doing a job a well motivated 13 year old girl can do at 2% of what his dumbass cost us!!!
