Why do people think because you are in the military, you are a Murderer if in a conflict or war?

Question

When I came back from Desert Storm, I was called a murderer by a woman in the Air Force. Now I am seeing comments like that again. Why?

I let that AF woman know that she was helping to blindly wipe out pople and homes. That then she was a cowardly murderer.

( I was on the M1A1 Abrams and saw what we shot and it was mostly other tanks and a few bunkers)

Answer 1

Most anti-war types and protesters call us vets murderers for two reasons, primarily:

1. They're thickheaded enough to have been brainwashed with the nonsensical conspiracy theories and anti-war, anti-common-sense rhetoric that they gobble up.

2. They're also too cowardly to ever possibly consider enlisting themselves and actually making a difference in their own lives and in the lives of others, and despise those of us who have because they hate thinking someone else is of better moral fibre than they.

Answer 2

i hate to say but there are a very few military personelle whom do commit murder they go out and kill non-combatants and commit other atrocities, this gets publized by the media and then the public sees this so some ignorant person gets ahold of it.

the few that do it give a bad name to the rest of us who serve with honor and obey the law of land warfare. this can be in no way helped i have heard of some of the cases in this war and some of them were PTSD were the person had seen a very good buddy killed or maimed and when nothing could be done about it theyve felt helpless and were filled with anger. this in no way justifys the actions of the few i belive it a failure by the Chain of command to provide adequate support in the way of mental health and combat stress to the soldiers in the filed

Your question should be "Why did a woman in the Air force called me a murderer because I'm in the military?" and the answer is "It was probably personal and have nothing to do with you being in the military."

Answer 4

Thank our mainstream media, democrats like Murtha, Clinton I & II, Reid, Pelosi and a whole host of others. They despise the miltary and will do whatever they can to discredit, shame, the troops. went through this after Vietnam and when Carter and Clinton were in.

Answer 5

You're not a murderer. Murder is unjust killing. Some killing is justified.

If that woman was in the Air Force, then she would also be a murderer if she believed what she said. After all, she would be enabling you, no?

Answer 6

Ignore them, they are total idiots.
