Everyone else thinks that you're beligerent, war mongering, nazis, & that really you're not interested in bringing "freedom" to the rest of the World, but like Adolfs lot want to steal all of the goodies for yourselves. You can't bully the rest of the World into liking you, question is why do you need to? Have 5.5 Billion people got it wrong, or is it you lot that have been watching too much YEEHAW tv?

P.S. you might not be aware of this, but it is a war crime and a violation of the Geneva Conventions to intermingle with the civilian populace.
When we bomb cowardly military targets that have decided to hide behind innocent women and children the blood for those deaths is on those terrorists who chose to violate the basic tenants of class and honor.
Save your propaganda. Sure, sometimes mistakes are made, it's unavoidable, but don't for a SECOND think that these dogs fight like honorable men.

It's simple, a man can fight with dignity and honor, or they can hide in the civilian populace. To me that's disgusting, and if one of our servicemembers did such I'd be equally disgusted and appalled.
You know what kills me the most is that there are so many unaware people out there whom have no idea that any of this is going around their very own heads.

When you are at war, you MUST take out enemy targets. You cannot let your enemies know that all they have to do is fire a weapon, then grab the nearest woman to hid behind.
You cannot allow the enemy to place weapons on the roofs of hospitals.
These are war crimes, it's disgusting. Do we do this in America? No, that's absurd.
War is unfortunate, we'd all like to have disputes settled by men in suits with handshakes, but the REALITY of life is that sometimes conflicts erupt.
Sometimes enemies are so evil they MUST be faced militarily. (Hitler) (Saddam)
Sometimes people like this can NEVER be bargained with, or appeased diplomatically. Now, with that truth, the laws of international armed conflict REQUIRE all military targets to be away from civilian areas, they REQUIRE those engaged in a conflict to have identifiable clothing separating themselves from the civilian populace. Sadly, not everyone fights with honor, it's been the case since human history.
The blood for innocent life falls on the men or armies committing the war crimes, not the ones who are targeting enemies that are taking up arms against them.

Thats very wierd that you speak of war crimes when America deemed it necassary to tourture in modern times. Your a christian right? If somebody hurts your family then goes and hides behind an innocent child. Do you shoot both of them in the head? Now this may be extreme, but it is a situation that occurs in Iraq or Aphgan. If your answer is yes, then dont believe for a second that it is fighting like a honorable man. America killing civilians is just as dishonorable as hiding behind them.

What if the people your fighting are vastly supperior to you in force.
Your opinion is what's disgusting. If we the people rise against our leaders and have to fight our brainwashed military we wont have uniforms. Wait a sec, yeah I just checked, no uniform.
