Lets see, I bet the US bashers will just love this one.During my tours I
have:
Panama (took a ruthless dictator out of power)
Gulf War (Liberated Kuwait from the invading Iraq forces who slaughter
1000's)
Bosnia ( put an end to the genocide of innocent people)
Kosovo ( put an end to genocide)
Iraq ( freed a country form a tyranical dictator who killed 100's of his own
people, and supported terrorism around the world)
Afghanistan ( freed a country from tyranny and oppressions)
But I am a bad person, a soldier who only hope to help others. I am not a
politician, I fight for what I believe in and to see people live free is what I
believe in.

Hmm, let's see
Panamanian dictator - put in power by the Americans, supported by the Americans,
removed by the Americans - where's the freedom in that?
Bosnia and Kosovo - came too late to stop the genocide of millions, bombed the
hell out of the place without doing much damage to the army they were trying to
decimate, left a huge mess which is still unresolved
Iraq - killed hundreds of thousands of people to free the country
Afganistan - overthrew a governement run by the religious right and handed it
over to a group of warlords. The country now produces over 50% of the world's
heroin
You're a soldier - you're just paid to to do as the politicians want. Don't try

We have become a Nazi monster in the eyes of the whole world--a nation of
bullies and bastards who would rather kill than live peacefully. We are not just
Whores for power and oil, but killer whores with hate and fear in our hearts. We
are human scum, and that is how history will judge us...No redeeming social
value. Just whores. Get out of our way, or
we'll kill you. Who does vote for these dishonest shitheads? Who among us can be
happy and proud of having this
innocent blood on our hands? Who are these swine? These flag-sucking half-wits
who get fleeced and fooled by stupid rich kids like George Bush? They are the
same ones who wanted to have Muhammad Ali locked up for refusing to kill gooks.
They speak for all that is cruel and stupid and vicious in the American
character. They are the racists and hate

Jumbo: hmmm ,lets see...
Panama re: Manuel Noriega: Yes, he actually was paid by the CIA in the 60's as
an informant when he was in the army. He was not controlled by the CIA however.
He obtained his power when the army ,under Omar Torrijos Herrera, seized control
of the government in a coup. The United States invaded Panama because Noriega
turned Panama into a Cocaine distributor into the U.S., was brutally repressing
civil rights, and was secretly aligning with Fidel Castro. Panama was quickly
degenerating into a failed criminal state.
Bosnia and Kosovo: OK so you are admitting it is the only the U.S. that takes
the initiative in combating global atrocities. Through your words, you are
stating that it was the US that was too late, and that it was none of Europe's
business, even though it was going on in their back yard. Typical. Bosnia is the
same festering hotspot that European complacency let start World War 1. None the
less, the US was the driving force behind taking action and stopping the
disgusting genocide.
Iraq: I really am skeptical of the claim that "100's of thousands of
innocents were killed". Of course, US bashers take it as gospel without
question. Yes, in ANY military action where the enemy uses civilian structures,
collateral damage will occur. An army cannot let an enemy successfully use
civilians as cover. To do so would immediately result in enemies ALWAYS using
civilian structures as cover.
Afghanistan: The US eliminated a NIGHTMARE regime that executed women in a
soccerfield for entertainment. The place was an unrepentant terrorist training
ground. There were warlords and heroin BEFORE the US kicked out the Taliban.
Now they have elections but yes heroin is still a problem. I guess expectations
and work for the United States never ends huh?

By the way rmepig69, that is an admirable resume you have. It displays selfless
action and courage that very few can genuinely claim. You can truly believe that
you have helped make a difference in the world. I personally believe that it is
far more impressive than any university degree, especially a law degree
.

Integrity, honor, a willingness to serve your country, putting your life on the
line to uphold the things you believe in, those are all admirable traits. What's
not an admirable trait is blindly following orders and not questioning the
justice of your actions, or the actions of your group as a whole. Be proud of
the people you've helped, but stop and listen to the people who argue against
what you're told to do. You might just learn something important about why
you're feared and hated so much.

Anthony, Thanks for your reasoned reply.
Noriega was supposed to be a CIA asset, but was removed when he set out on his
own. He was supported initially.
Bosnia & Kosovo - I said nothing about the US taking the intiative. The
soldiers of all nations were constrained by useless politicians in their own
governments and the UN. I think you'll find that the actual numbers of US
servicemen on the ground was vastly smaller than the European contingent - as it
should have been
Iraq - Sounds like the general in Vietnam who said something like "In order
to free the village, we had to destroy it" I'm not saying it was better
before, but the "liberation" was not all sweetness and light
Afghanistan - True the Taliban regime was abhorrent to our eyes, but they did
virtually stop poppy growing there. A bit like the Mussolini making the railways
run on time
Finally, you seem to think that the world is begging the US to come and sort
things out for them. You should be aware that 90% of the world disagree. If the
US was trying to make the world a better place, it would be doing much more in
Africa where thousands are dying every day, and much less in the Middle East
where the oil comes from.
Call me cynical, but that's the view from outside the US. You will not like it,
and will feel that it is wrong. But the US will have to live with the legacy
that their policies are creating. I would love to look back in 20 years time
(with the benefit of hindsight) and see how this period is viewed. Probably like
the Cuban missile crisis and Vietnam.

Well it seems my patriotism has stirred up quite a storm. I have but a few
questions for the US Bashers. Have you ever been to Iraq, Afghanistan, Bosnia,
and Kosovo? Have you ever seen the truth or just the selective media broadcasts?
Have you ever held the body of a dying child who lost a leg because one of the
terrorists you apparently love so much blew up a car in a crowded market in
hopes to kill maybe 2 American soldiers but rather killed 25 innocent civilians?
I think not! I am willing to bet you have never traveled to one of these war
torn countries, seen what I have seen or dealt with what I have dealt with. You
sit home and watch your TV and believe in your heart that what they are
reporting is the truth rather than sensationalized journalism in order to sell
papers. You spout you rhetoric about subject you read about rather than face
them first hand. I have seen the heroin in Afghanistan and yes it is a problem
to the world that we are working on in the midst of trying to kill these
ruthless terrorist. I have never seen the oil fields you say I am fighting for,
but I bet you complain about the price of gas too. I personally was present when
the mass graves in Bosnia and Kosovo were uncovered, where were you? I fight in
what I believe in and that is freedom, do you think the Iraqi people don’t
want freedom, or are you basing your opinion on what someone else said? If the
US Army asked me to go to Africa and help I would gladly go, unfortunately I am
tied up here in Afghanistan right now. Maybe someday you will have the courage
to put on a uniform and put your life on the line for others. Until then just
remember this quote:
“A coward dies a thousand times, a brave man only once, but once is enough”.

Twenty bucks says this guy's just a desk jockey trying to get people to enlist.
Since when was patriotism (PRIDE in one's country) a good thing? Sounds a lot
like Nationalism or ethnocentrism or... dare i say it? HATRED. Go read a book or
something because wars will NEVER solve a single problem in this life. Call me a
pinko commie, a tree-hugger, anti-American, or what you will, but Patriotism is
outright bullshit used to instill fear and hate into the citizen's of this
nation. Why are American's better than anyone else on this planet? Why do we get
to do whatever the hell we want by any means necessary? Answer these questions
Mr. Hater-Mongering "Patriot". Go read Tolstoy and get back to me.
P.S. You're the reason i hate Jarheads.

77144, no you are not a pinko commie or tree hugger, your just a self absorbed
ignorant asshole, simple as that. Only when there are no threats in the world
will there be no need for the armed forces. Throughout history, pacifists and
romantic idealists like you were quickly subjugated, robbed, and made slaves by
the more aggressive. Rome learned this early on when they were robbed and raped
by barbarians Gauls in 390 BC. After that they knew the value of a powerful,
well equipped and trained military, and vowed to never let their guard down
again. They didn't for almost a thousand years. You have simply lived a
sheltered life and have no clue about the dangers that are patiently waiting for
a sign of weakness. Who exactly is claiming that the U.S. is better than anyone
else? The U.S. simply responds to threats to national security. Sometimes this
entails preemptive action (nipping in the bud). Other times it the US takes
action against atrocities such as the Bosnian massacres or the forced starvation
in Somalia. These situations call for the use of armed force because the
murdering dictators and thugs in this world do not respond favorably to quotes
from Tolstoy, you pretentious twat.

So who are these "thugs in this world" that you refer to? It seems,
at least to the other 6 Billion people on this planet that the US are thugs.
It's not pacifism, it's common sense. When has violence ever solved a single
thing? When the U.S. forced Germany to pay reparations, thus leading to the rise
of Hitler? Oh and how did we respond to Hitler? I believe it was with
indifference until we got bombed, at which point we declared war with Japan. Oh
wait, maybe Vietnam solved something other than millions dead but i just can't
seem to think of anything. Hmmmmm, what about our response to 9/11? It seems to
have worked real well. Our presence in the Middle East is taken very nicely,
they love the U.S. And then you mock Tolstoy as if violence isn't as absurd as
an author advocating peace.
Ignorance is not believing that violence is not the way to solve things,
ignorance is accepting that violence can help people. Give me one example of
when war hasn't begat another conflict which also birthed another conflict?
Please, i would like to hear it Anthony.

I am assumign that 77144 is trying to relate each armed comflict with the next
as if they are all tied together. I think he/she has been reading too many
fairytales. While some may have been the result of a preceding conflict, other
just happened. Why is it that people will eagerly bash the USA for taking action
but will say nothing about people like Milosevic, who ordered the slaughter of
thousands? The USA was reacting to an attack on our own soil, chasing down the
cowards (much like you 77144) who couldn't face us man to man. I'll tell you
what, when you have served your country as a true American, then you can put
yourself on the same level as me, until then you are just taking up space from
those that trully love America. Do us all a favor and pack you stuff and move to
Iraq or Afghanistan, then you will know what value freedom has.

America won both world wars thus saving millions of lives. Korean war similary.
Vietnam was a failure but it was done to save millions of South Vietnamese who
would've been persecuted/killed by north Vietnamese (which happened anyway once
America was forced to leave by fucking hippies like 77144 who kept complaining
about the war). Most Generals today and war historians all agree that America
could have easily won the Vietnamese war if it had used more ground troops and
less bombings. Of course the hippies would rather the savages from North Vietnam
were allowed their freedom to kill innocents. Gulf War : America attacks Iraq to
save Kurds from annihilation from Saddam. Bosnia conflict : America intervenes
with most European countries in order to stop death of muslims/ethnic minorities
at hands of Serbs. Afghanistan : America attacks Taliban who kill all who oppose
them, grow poopies and keep women as slaves. I don't understand why people can
say any of these aren't just causes? There is no longer a threat of global
destruction because America defeated Soviet Russia economically. If the hippie
fucks had their way we'd still be under the threat of nuclear destruction and
the commies would control half of Asia. Thankfully America stands for freedom
and justly spreads it wherever it can.
