Why support our troops if murder is a crime in our own country?

Question

I seems a real contridiction. I mean I don't support my friends sticking thier fingers in light sockets....do you?

so if iidon't like the look of someone ie I think they might threaten me can I shoot them?
No I don't have that kind of guts, or hatred, or ignorence, or fear....

What makes you hate Terrorism that any War is not doing? They justify themselves the same way anyone can justify war. Every innocent life had the right to self protection too, guess they didn't have enough for the next...insert scary terroist here.......to come and take over thier country...but I guess thier not people...their not Americans...

Answer 1

I do not support war or "the troops".
A good saying would be like one used in my family, and we are a human family," I love you but do not have to love your bad decisions or actions."
War cannot protect us from violence. That makes no sense unless you divide into us and them. Who is us?
Shurly the soldiers on the other side are just as innocent as the one you call yours. Shurly they do not wish to affect anything but what they think is right, to defend their loved ones. It is sad how much they have and common and that they hurt each other. Both sides suffer and no one wins, which is what happens when fear and frustration are allowed to flourish in our hearts. Whether it is nations or a relationship such as family or a marriage.

War is a grave misunderstanding with horrible consequences

Answer 2

Good point but bad analogy. Murder is a crime but killing the enemy in war is not considered murder (although the results are the same if you're on the receiving end). The contradiction is that killing is killing and that's bad whether it's for war, which we justify, or out of anger or some other illegal reason. But what that has to do with having your friends stick their fingers in light sockets has nothing to do with the ethical problem you pose. But it's a good question anyway

Answer 3

For starters, was it the troops who made the decision to go to war? No. They're doing what they're told because they love their country and would die in its defense. Secondly, are the troops over there mowing down innocent people with machine guns? No. They're not the ones doing the shooting unless they are shot at first. Finally, what stands between you and the next Saddam Hussein seizing power right here in the United States? THE TROOPS. So the next time you decide to shoot your mouth off, remember the men and women who defend and protect your right to freedom of speech.

Answer 4

Most soldiers are from broken back grounds trying to have an opportunity to go to college no sane person likes to kill but we are defending our nation it is a necessary evil because they're ppl that have all these opinions but wouldn't stand for the country in times of a crisis. If the war was on our soil you would think different

you don't have to support the troop cause they'll support you no matter your view you have a good opinion but it's an opinion
opinions don't win wars

I recommend you to watch dead presidents

Answer 5

I understand that the variety of element occurs in some cases. If that is close by, in many cases cases the community has mixed thoughts with reference to the militia through fact distinctive service contributors, being "college elderly", and in basic terms turning 21, drink lots. And with alcohol comes stupid habit. As for the inhabitants in many cases, i think that there is a bitter feeling from some human beings in the direction of the militia through fact they oppose the conflict, and characteristic been for some years. through fact they are needless to say no longer good with their own thoughts (or perhaps very clever human beings could be to blame of this), they take out their thoughts onto the militia member, who's sacrificing and serving their united states of america. that is like having a undesirable day at artwork and casting off your frustrations on your youthful baby, puppy, or husband. that is declared as displacement, and is a difficulty-free subject matter in psychology. besides, I disagree with opposed opposition in the direction of your individual united states of america's militia contributors. Like all human beings else, they are in basic terms doing their activity, in basic terms they had the braveness to develop their suited hand and say "I do solemnly swear to uphold and take care of the form". that is ridiculous and immature. There are formal, legally sanctioned information on the thank you to oppose the conflict, which includes protests. there is not any choose for violence which incorporate your individual countrymen.

Answer 6

Your question is so screwed up Iam not sure how to respond,but I think maybe you are saying our military are killing so are they murders,if that is so ? please define murder. Is killing to protect your family, your own life ,others lives your home , your way of life ? or are you one of those bleeding hearts who say killing under any circumstances is murder?if so,do you eat meat or even vegetables or do you just eat things that died? and science shows plants are live beings, some say talking is best, I agree and supposedly that is our politicans job is to negoigate problems, but what do you feel should be done after talking dosent produce any results? for those of you who don't want to support our troops you need to visit a country like what we have been fighting and live there for six months you will change your mind and be glad to support our REAL HEROS

Answer 7

Sorry but your ignorance is showing!

How many people have to die before you think someone should take action to stop it?

Carry on - the terrorists and murderers are simply loving your support and the fact you have volunteered to accept some of the responsibility for the terrible violence going on.

Answer 8

That's right let's get the cops off the streets too. They kill. And while we are at let's get rid of the doctors too. Statistic show when the docs are on strike or on holidays less people dir.

Answer 9

They are fighting for our country so they need all the support they can get. If you had the guts you would join the military and find out what it was like. Then you wouldn't have to ask.

Answer 10

I agree with you. killing people don't solve any problems. esp. U.S. and Iraq problems. They're killing inocent women and children.

Human beings starts war, and only human beings... whether we keep killing people or keeping a peaceful world depends on our heart. We need to talk not fight.
