And you think they care about that? How many of them actually know
why they do what they're doing? They're told what to do. They do it. They get paid. Sure there're some of them who are well aware of what's going on and feel proud of their achievements as soldiers but I'd say that's hardly the case. Like I said: different times, different motives.

It's not about being a "good" marine; have you ever heard of
empathy? You can't just watch someone die and act like nothing happened! Being unable to kill doesn't make you a bad soldier, it makes you a human.
And what sort of person
chooses pain over comfort? I think it's not much of a personal choice as much as it is a matter of necessity, whatever that may be.

Well, are YOU?? Just because you're a heartless killing robot who's unable to stay faithful to the mother of his child, doesn't mean that's how it works with everyone else. It's sad enough that some people have to kill for a living, at least let them take the credit for carrying out such an awful act.

A joke? Yeah, right. So fucking funny 4.000 US soldiers have so far died from a laughing fit when they heard they would be risking their life over something like this... I don't know if it's still a joke to you after 5 years, personally I think it's rather serious.

Oh yeah? And what all did they do with them, shove it up their ass, along with Bin Laden?
So the US sells weapons of mass destruction to Iraq and decide the time has come for the Iraqi people to give them back because oh, they're worried they might be used the wrong way? Should have thought about that one before making such risky deals.
And anyway, why does a whole country need to be bombed? Is it gonna help you find what you're after? Have you been told that they'd be given back to you after taking the lives of 100.000 civilians? If so, good job man, 10.000 more to go and they're fucking yours.
