I'd rather live on the streets than take orders to strengthen an imperialist empire.

Honestly I think anyone who joins thee forces are absolute morons.

move to north korea and say that.... with an ounce of luck you will get what I just said and realise how ironic your statement is.

if trolling, then good job!

You know what's funny? you actually think I'm trolling? lol.

You go boy, be a plane man, kill loads of kids in your stealth bomber and get paraded as a "hero" on national TV. They will give you a nice looking badge so you can feel proud.

The american imperialist (not all americans! just those at the top) empire is no different to any other empire that has ever existed.

Apart from, the only real difference is, most people have absolutely no idea that it's happening today....... Because of media.....

I was in the Army. Thank you for calling me a moron. It's appreciated.

You may be right, you may be wrong. War isn't nice, cosy or clean. It takes children away from parents, husbands away from wives. But if you believe that the majority of soldiers commit war crimes or are sadistic then you're just the other side of the hype brigade. There are obviously bad apples in every bunch but to categorise every single soldier in the American military as a moron is extreamely unfair. Listen, I've never served in the military and I'm presuming you haven't either so neither of us really know what it's like. Buying into Fox News, Anonmyous or whoever wants to put a load of spin on the truth to further thier own agenda without any real experience is naive.

Shifty: I don't think your a moron, far from it... moron was probably just the wrong word to use... Kissinger used the word "pawn" a better word.

NonredO: Nahh... Those in the marines, navy etc are not war criminals, or "sadistic" (although some may be) . On the contrary they are very brave people and I respect them... For the most part I'm sure they actually believe they are protecting people, doing the right thing.

But i think anyone who reads alot on current affairs, doesnt watch fox news as primary source of info knows otherwise.

Silly thing to say at the end.... I wasn't part of the mayan civ but I know sacrificing thousands at a time to please the sky lords was wrong.. lol

Unless i'm missing something, those two above statements completely contradict each other.

You just called them morons and now you are saying they are brave and respect them? I guess you became a hypocrite after others told you how dumb you sounded.

IF. it's a conditional statement. I wasn't sure. but the fact that your comment only refers to your home of America shows how blinkered you are. I never mentioned America, that was you. why did you not assume I have served in the Swiss Army, or the French Or the British or the Indian or the Chinese or some force that has naff all fire power, kit or hope of putting up a fight against the larger countries... (that's rhetorical, no need to answer )
still, well done on the backtrack...
