What I hate with this is that is defines that the army itself is good or bad. But in reality it is what it is used for. If its actually used for defence, then it's very honorable. When it's used as a tool to exploit resources to the rich, (aka generally being the aggressor), it's not.
Even simpler than that. People trying to slot sex work/army/any job into “good/bad” columns aren’t worth your attention.
Except for health insurance CEOs, those definitely bad.
The only thing that can stop a bad health insurance CEO is a good health insurance CEO.
But war means more than sacrificing your body or personal reputation. War is giving up your whole personal conscience to fight for what the group believes is the most direct action in response to an event
Cops and troops are bad. You might even say All of them AB
All Cops Are Bad
I mean, even for defence. Your settling, an argument, the rich and powerful people above you are having. You're settling it with your life.
If you think your side is right and you're ready to die fighting then who is anyone else to say that you, the tool, is wrong?
The people rescued from concentration camps would probably disagree.
Point 2 on your source: American forces liberated concentration camps including Buchenwald, Dora-Mittelbau, Flossenbürg, Dachau, and Mauthausen.
They all helped. Your comment doesn't invalidate mine.
In that case I might respectfully suggest looking into an introductory course to logic if you're at all interested. http://intrologic.stanford.edu/chapters/chapter_01.html
You made an incredibly bad faith argument with this comment.
The arguments the person you are debating made was that the US Army was involved in liberating people in concentration camps.
Your argument was that British and Soviet forces were involved.
Both statements are true. Yours did not invalidate theirs.
Can you congratulate yourself any harder, Shapiro?
They'd probably disagree with giving the Americans any credit for it.
Oh I know.
See, that's an easy question to answer: Did you, or whoever, join the military while the US, or your country, was being attacked?
If you wait til you are attacked, you may not be trained or ready enough to actually defend your country from the attack. You can still join in times of peace with intentions of defense for the future, helping with disaster relief, and providing international aid.
Joining to support the aggressor makes you the aggressor.
Yeah peaceful militaries like Korea's or China's or Cuba's are ok. Anyone joining the US military though if just in it for the war crimes.
