What is your opinion about US soldiers raping mothers and killing families?

Answer 1

1. I'm not sure all charges have been proven, so I would say "allegedly" raping..."

2. It is a little silly to ask what I think about rape. Rape is one of the most heinous of violent crimes, no matter whether it is a prom date or an Iraqi woman.

3. I think this kind oif incident, if true, is a predicatable outcome of sending young men to war. Soldiers are asked to dehumanize the enemy. Since everyday Iraqis are often the enemy (who IS the enemy?) then it is easy to see how even superbly trainid young men would do this. War is hell, they say. Killing innocents and raping women has happened in every war back through history. If you start a war, then you damn sure better expect this kind of collateral damage. This is why Bush and Rumsfeld and Cheney's little war with it's tidy package they want to sell is just a pipe dream. War is dirty and terrible and if these rapes are true, they should have been anticipated.

Answer 2

I Think Thats Horrible How Would They Like It If There Mother Sister Daughter Was Raped And then You Kill There Family But This Sadly Happens All The Time In Other Countries Such As Africa. You Can Use Rape As A Way Of Interigation If You Belive That That Person Id Holding Back Useful Knowlege About Something Which I Think Is Just Horrible

Answer 3

It is and always has been a hideous thing to do. When an army is in another country acting as an aide to that country's people, whether they are helping to take down a dictator, fight back another invading country, or what have you, these foreign soldiers should treat the people of the land they are defending as their own people. A nation cannot claim to be helping another when their army is killing and raping the people and burning the homes of the nation is is claiming to protect or help. If they do this they are simply delaying the inevitable fall from grace in the eyes of the rest of the world. By simply raping and killing, they are already securing their fall, but by claiming that they are 'helping', they are only hastening it. The United States, of all countries, should realize this, however in this day and age, despite how 'civilized' we all are, we seem to be falling back to the days of feudal states and warring factions. What the world needs is someone willing to stand up and say so, though no one seems willing to risk their own skin to save millions of others.
The needs of the Many outweigh the needs of the Few.

Answer 4

People assume the worst when they read in the newspapers about anything that they can point their finger at whoever is involved. I, for one have to see to believe and we have to give the persons who are involved the benefit of the doubt. I do not trust the Iraqi people because all they want to do is get the American soldiers from their territory. The only problem is that if we did that we will be having more attacks from terrorists and we might all end up dying. The people that are the first to point their finger at the soldiers should let justice be served because it might just be the Iraqi doing the raping and killing of their own people

Answer 5

unfortunate occurrence of war and will influence more US citizens to push for withdrawing from Iraq. All is fair in love and war is really not a true statement. It's a weird paradox, you can murder the said enemy but you can't rape or kill families, yet the enemy is part of a family. We train these young men and women to kill, but how do we teach how to control the aggression? Many come back with anger issues, impulse control problems, post traumatic stress syndrome, depression. This war is unjustified, I don't buy the set the people free sentiment. If we are to rid the world of "bad" leaders than we would half to wage war on 90% of the world.Are we so ego-centric to believe that the American way is the only way. Isn't it in communistic doctrine to spread communism around the world? Time to pull out. Have a nice day.

Answer 6

It happens in all wars from different causes. Sometimes rape is used as a weapon to degrade people (not especially the women or even men) but to simply show that they are superior. Brutality also reflects such an attitude. Beating prisoners is a sadistic outburst of their personalities and likely they would bring their cruelty home to their wives and children. We have often read of a ex-military man going wacko, or even those actively serving with deadly results.Having served seven years in Vietnam, I can't imagine a single moment when blood heat would have caused me to kill children. In Cambodia is a museum of sorts to remember the large numbers of people killed by the Kymer Rouge et al. One of the survivors of the slaughter painted some very heart-breaking pictures of soldiers beating babies against a tree and unspeakable tortures of the elders....and there remains mounds of human skulls. If I were the judge at such a trial, I would inflict every known torture on them and then ask for seconds. Life is too valuable for someone to treat others so horribly.

Answer 7

It's something so horrible. People say the war in Iraq is because the 9/11. Why would someone kill so many people over one family's problem with America. If all I know, the war could be somewhere else. But the real reason the US soldiers are doing all this horrible stuff, is because some of are nasty. And the may reason of the war is because of the.......................*OIL*. Plus, if it's because of the 9/11, how the war is still happening if they already caught the guy who planed it.

Answer 8

I'm against it.

What is your opinion of rapes and murders that happen in New York or Chicago by civilians? I therefore condemn all civilians!!

Surprise! There are criminals in the military, just like in every other sect of every society in the world!! I bet there are some Yahoo users that are rapists...does that mean you are evil?

By and large, or military men and women are incredible upstanding citizens...I know after being apart of them for 22 years. We should be praising our military for investigating and prosecuting these crimes...many countries would allow their soldiers to do this sort of thing in time of war. We are a much better, much more disciplined, more trained military than any that has existed in the history of world.

What is your opinion of the massive rapes and murders by soldiers in Africa, that their government turns a blind eye to? Now, who is worse?

Answer 9

My opinion is that which refers to an old cantation: "two wrongs do not make one right"; therefore, just because the U.S. has been a victim of polictics does not mean that it is right for the U.S. soldiers to take advantage of a situation and matters into their own hands. For those of us that believe in spiritualism (Jesus), we know that we should leave certain matters to him. For those that believe in Karma, the saying goes: "what goes around, comes around." Truly, those same soldiers would not want anyone raping their mother, sister, female cousins/friends, aunts, neices, and/or anyone close to them, in general. They would be stunned if while they are away harming those women and going on killing sprees, if someone was harming their family members/friends and plotting to kill them.

Answer 10

Certainly glad you find such behavior offensive. Gosh, how superior and totally unlike the rest of us, you are.

Trick question: They do not generally do that. You did not say 'those' US soldiers.

Your question should be (unless you're pulling some rhetorical slight of hand -- which you are for whatever sick reason you have to attempt such a transparent dishonesty), what do we think about a few evil men who have done that.

The answer is . . . same as we think about any evil men doing the same no matter what country or vocation. You know the answer. You had no question Mr or Ms dishonest person. Tell yourself your favorite insult and pretend we said it.
