Armed Forces, a vulgar and bloody profession?

Question

I can't judge every man, and this statement should resound in the ears of those that have committed no crime, or believes in dignifying the armed forces of nations. It is the lowest means of service that any man can fall upon,enlisting to murder others in the name on nationalism, but forgetting the similarity and close history,resemblence of the species as a whole, "the Human species". To work at the direction of greedy governments who trive and depend to keep the population distracted in the maintaining of a war economy, thereby continually creating new ones at the expence of the similar and uniform civilians of every nation that seeks peace. As long as the military exists, there exists wars and feuds between men, though they might always exist, the military is a mass productive method in performing massacres. All civilians of ever nation are similar and they have no ill to each other, therefore there is no justification of state militaries attacking foreign civilians, it is a crime.

give reasons, do not merely state attacks without valid justification. Why is thre need for state militaries, national bounds of protective interests, unless racism is prevalent, we hate other races and threfore have to have a means to attack them when necessary.

Answer 1

When you are saying "state Militaries" do you mean "the USA" or are you speaking of every country? Of course I would agree that it is wrong for a country to use it's military power for personally gain as the US does but that doesn't make all the people who join bad.

Also there are many countries who uses their military for national emergancies and to provide stability to countries that have had a war or natural disaster. I used to contract for the Canadian army in Afghanistan and they were there to keep people safe and rebuild the country. I personally visited villages with the military and saw the help they were providing by building wells and bringing school supplies. Not to mention making it safe for children to go to school.

And even though I don't agree with US military actions I have met some lovely gentlemen who were kind people and felt that they were serving their country. That said I have also met the other kind. The kind that come out of some small town where they worked at walmart and now they have a gun.

Your whole argument in general is blury. You start at the beginning saying that the AF is a bloody profession. I suppose it can be but not across the board and certainly not in the case of mose NATO AF. Then you say it is the lowest means of service. That is just rude and ignorate to say when most AF are desent people who go in a as doctors, supply techs, engineers, etc.

Yes it is wrong for a nation to use its military for it's own Nationalistic gain, but there is only one AF in question that is really doing that. The Hungary's, Belgians, Romanians, Italians, Canadians, Germany's, Slovanians, etc (these are all nations I have worked with Overseas) are there on a NATO obligation to secure the country. Most of them refused to go to Iraq.

I see what you are trying to say but remember that while it would be nice to live in a world where we don't need a military. We don't because there are countries out there that want to take over other countries and kill civilians, and they will just die if countries like Canada don't help them. Also look at places like the Sudan. If not for the military assistance of countries like Canada the UN wouldn't be able to get supplies into help them.

Answer 2

NO !!..

It may sometimes be a "bloody" profession - literally, but it is far from a vulgar profession.

I think if you had a need of military defence course of action, after trying diplomacy, humanitarian, or other means to sort out an escalating problem of violence, you would be the first one on the phone to call for these well trained, well disciplined Armed Forces !

It becomes "vulgar" when politicians and humanitarians keep interfering (albeit they might see it for the right reasons) and causing confusion and frustration in the minds of the Forces, who have been highly-trained to do the job (paid for by our taxes) and, if left to get on with things, the job would be completed with the minimum of fuss and carnage.

For sure, there will be deaths and horror - but, if we didn't have our Armed Forces, and the terrorists were left to thier own devices.. there would be MORE deaths and horrors to witness !

At least with trained Armed Forces, they do NOT set out to kill innocent people.

They are trained NOT to do that.

In times of war, accidents can, and unfortunately, do happen.

Fact of war.

At least, if the Armed Forces are allowed to get the job done without political or humanitarian interference, and providing they have the neccessary equipment and troops on the ground, the job will be completed with the minimum of innocent casualties or fatalities.

I notice that you state ......".... there exsists wars and feuds between men....."

Says it all !!

THAT is the reason we need the Military !

That is the reason tax-payers pay for our Military to be well trained and disciplined.

Answer 3

What is wrong with you many soldiers volunteer to protect their country against outside enemies unfortunately they sometimes get used but most are there to try and make a difference not to murder but to prevent more death and destruction where would you be if they weren't there to protect you ?if the world were perfect I would agree that the military was no longer necessary however we have enemies and unfortunately many are in DC have you ever considered the fact that if our military was as bad as you believe it to be the political hacks in DC would already control this country as a dictatorship because they would have sent them against us ( if you think that can't happen look at ancient history and how many times it has happened if you say that is in the past it happens at least once every two years in these times somewhere in the world ) then you have those who will say it could never happen in this country while it is unlikely it is not impossible both the CIA and the Pentagon have experimented with drugs for mind control where do you think LSD came from it was manufactured by Pfizer for the CIA and Timothy Leary was one of their agents telling people that it would expand their conciseness and wasn't addictive don't worry it won't hurt you this fact came out 25 years later and was downplayed enough so most people still don't believe it !

Answer 4

WTF is your problem? You sound very ignorant and have no idea about what you are talking about, because if you actually knew what was REALLY going on in the lives of military members (and NOT just what the media tells you to think) then you wouldn't be under the false impression that the military is alll about killing people, because we are NOT! That just happens to be something that has to happen (as self defense).

You are aware that many people join the military just to get money for college? That a lot of people get jobs in the medical field, or air traffic control so they can get the training and then get out and make a 6-7 figure income as a civilian? No, because you are ignorant.

You can be a dentist, doctor, nurse, computer tech, cook, mechanic, fuel truck driver, electrician,you can be a paper pusher with a desk job, etc. all of those jobs have nothing to do with killing people.

If you are going to rant and rave, do it with some kind of understanding about the subject that you are opposed to!FYI- because of the military members you have the freedom to say what you just did.


.....STOP WATCHING (and believing) THE MEDIA AND TALK TO SOME SOLDIERS, MARINES, AND AIRMEN

Answer 5

Military service can be a noble profession. it involves sacrifice for others.

When criminal behavior of military personnel goes unpunished, it reflects on the rest of us. Just as in any enterprise, there are bad apples. The rest of us certainly do not owe these people any loyalty. They have betrayed us.

The function of the military is not to kill people, although that is sometimes required. It is to overcome and destroy the enemies ability to resist. At that point, when the enemy has surrendered, he is no longer an enemy. He is a prisoner. He is helpless. To abuse a prisoner is to reduce a military member to the level of the intelligence operative who works in safe areas, torturing to get information, or his political masters.

Don't judge the military by the actions of a few misfits.

Answer 6

Glad you could stop braiding your hair and singing Kumbaya long enough to ask that. Sometimes it is vulgar and bloody, but it is also necessary. There have been "wars and feuds" ever since Grog learned to take stuff from Og with a pointy stick or a rock. As long as there are bad people and genocidal people running nations defense would seem to make sense wouldn't it? It is human nature.Peace can only be obtained through strength.

Answer 7

that's an engaging thesis. I agree that if the militia of the international must be disbanded then we could stay in peace. regrettably that isn't achievable. we could continuously take care of a militia by using fact the different adult adult males won't disband. i'm pleased with the provider I gave to my united states of america. i replaced into no longer nor am I no longer worth for society. I chosen to enlist and serve. I discovered greater in those years of provider than I ever would have in a school. authentic issues like a thank you to get alongside with all people regardless of race, colour, creed, faith or what have you ever. a thank you to be a Patriot and love my united states of america regardless of the obtrusive flaws. for somebody to call that provider vulgar is a slap interior the face. i'm sorry which you're a coward and ought to no longer recover from your self long sufficient to be prepared to make the sacrifice that enables you to're making the comments you have made. the reality which you will say the flaws which you're saying is by way of those vulgar bloodied infantrymen you so particularly disrespect. that's you who isn't worth for society and unworthy of the air that i'm compelled to share with you.

Answer 8

Until you can assure that not one single country, or one single city, or even one little town will start their own little army, then others are going to have to have a army to protect themselves. Your idea would only work in a world that had no corrupt leaders, no power hungry people, no one that wanted anothers land or minerals. Nice thought but I believe they call that heaven. Idealistic you are, realistic you are not.
To most serving in the Military is the HIGHEST means of service to your country.

Answer 9

You obviously have never served in the Military. You should go back to Canada. You probably wouldn't last 24 hrs in the Military. They want good men & women, not knuckle heads like you. You can sleep well and enjoy your freedoms because of our brave men & women in uniform. Think about that sometime.

Answer 10

We will no longer need armies, when the world no longer needs police forces. Human greed, lust for power and natural human inequity will guarentee that there will always be wars. Blaming armies for war is like blaming the Police for crime, firemen for fires.
