I guess we will Just forget about WWI and WWII. I guess war crimes have never been committed by a member of the a European military.
Friendly fire has never been committed by a European military
For the record a member of my squad is 35 years old. Not so much all young kids "spraying ammo"
Also, I'm a member of the US Marine Corps, none of the weapons I use were even a prototype in the Cold War. If any branch was to have ancient cold war weapons it would be the USMC.
And US troops never participate in humanitarian missions?
And when did Europe conquer the world?
I'm not saying the US Military is perfect by any means. But c'mon people. Let us not make factually inaccurate, ignorant, and slanderous comments about something you know nothing about.
I would also like to add that the US Military was not defeated by the Vietnamese. The American govt. and populace merely lost will due to an immensely popular social movement.
Source on the bottom of the picture should read.
It's what my mum and dad say so it must be true.
...One thing we don't understand, why do they always choose the image of the fat soldier? We had a guy like that with us back when we were in Scenario Paintball games, he made the firefights all look easy (No idea how) and could out-run a lot of people on our team.
We see no problem with letting someone fight for their country if they want to, regardless of their body looks like. We tried to find the full picture.
altereted to adapt to the situation. To finish of my argument i am just gonna say that the most important fact what the image states about peace is bullshit not true for either americans or europeans (look at europe/US supported dictatorships Batista on Cuba, Gaddafi ...)
France and Germany had massive casualties due to trench warfare, which was basically bomb the hell out of the enemy with artillery, CHARGE!, and then get mowed down by gunfire. Lather, rinse, repeat.
