I don't agree. Marines are trained to kill, to prtect themselves, those in their troop, and any United States citizen. They don't just see a child and shoot, they shoot if the person has a possibility of harming the ones they were trained to protect. They do NOT just torture civillians at random, and the rapping is generally from the other country. If they get caught rapping someone the Marine, or any other branch member, gets sent home and discharged from the military forever.
Yes, our military has killed, but if we hadn't gone over there, what do you think they would've done next, after 9/11? It would've been brought here. They are the terriosts of thier own country, we went over there to save them.
What I know I've mostly heard from friends of mine who came out of the military, but I'm not sure what I was thinking when I made this comment. Might have been in a paranoid mood, been reading some creepy shit lately that makes me wonder, but I don't want to buy into all the hype either.
But the reasons we went over there are far more complicated than a terrorist attack, it goes into political battles dated back to the late 80s and early 90s, and there are a multitude of reasons behind the war, terrorism simply being one of them.
What I meant to say about the whole rape thing is I don't know how involved U.S. troops have actually been with it, but it has long been used as a tactic of war. I cite Bosnia and Kosovo as a major and well known event of systematic rape of women as a tactic of war. The Japanese Comfort Women scandal is another well known one, though it's a recurring theme. Some police forces (uncommon in the U.S but it happens) use sexual harrassment as a way to antagonize an attack on them, so they can make arrests.
It's good that there's this urge to save people in unfortunate circumstances and all. But I don't think making their homeland into a war zone is the right way to do it. :/
Is it normal to think that the Marines are terrorists?
