No, but I'm not American.
I think that it is fair to say that the U.S. military has in isolated incidents done so things that are bad but I hope that on average they mostly support the values of most Americans; i.e., don't massacre civilians, perform rapes etc.
As a Canadian, I was very upset when their was an incident in Somalia where Canadian soldiers crossed the line. I was ashameed as a Canadian our military tried to hide it but also upset that the unit was permantly done away with. That unit had a history in both world wars.
Without the US military, I guess my country would have been over run by Stalin the 1950s. The soviet military was much much much worse than the US one.

1st you ask if we are proud of the military then say they are baby killers. So for a small amount of people who flipped out or criminals in the first place like Vietnam is not reflect on the people who actually join the military. Your statement reflex on the Democratic party for the last 30 years though. By the way put you next to an ex or military member you would look weak in everyones eyes.

Very few are unethical. Most in the military have very high standards. It is unlikely to find them dancing in the streets after sawing off some ones head & burning their body. They wouldn't document it on the Internet. I'm surprise that ones that are so proud of their actions at the same time hide their identity.
As you have seen the ones that are unethical are prosecuted.
It is interesting in the Muslims world they are still upset about items that happened several hundred years ago. You don't see a person from the US saying they wish to kill a person from Japan, because of what happened on 7 Dec 1941. Even people that were there have moved on. Some from each side have even become friends

In every elitists group there will always be a few misguided, sick, or just plain stupid individuals. We do see this from time to time in the military. For an example there are worthless sick minded people in this greatest nation on God's green earth, like the people that think the military is stupid, or a bunch of cold-blooded assassins, or baby killers. Yes I'm VERY proud of this military!

Wow. Lets see. Millions of men and women serve. A few dozen commit crimes over 250 years and they are all baby killers in your view? Please, you can't possibly be so ignorant and stupid. Thats what worries me about liberals. They lose all control of reality. They get like retards foaming at the mouth and lose all track of reality and can no longer seperate genuine disagreement and differing views with what is purely moronic, as your case illustrates. Its actually kind of sad that you can't oppose something on its merits without resorting to sick, assine statements like yours. You either are a follower, like most liberals,who has no rational arguments of his own to boost his case and is therefore frustrated because you can't back up your opinion with facts so you resort to obscene statements or your are just a jackass. Which is it?
Oh yeah, and the Massacre in Vietnam and the term babby killer was applied to a conscript US army, filled with malcontents like yourself, who broke under the stress of war and committed heinous crimes. That does not happen, except for very rare isolated incidents, in todays volunteer military.

You know nothing. I am proud of my men and women who serve in our military. Do bad things happen in war? Yes. War is hard,ugly violent and sometimes brutal. You are not from my country so you go ahead and believe all the propaganda and lies. The United States Military is the strongest,toughest and hardest group of butt kickers on the planet. We win because we are better then you are.
