This man fights to protect your rights and is probably holding his newborn baby for the first time/ last time for a while and this is what you write ? Shame on you .

Soldiers are not protecting anyone or anything. They are fighting a useless cause and killing in the name of liberty and justice, many of whom don't give a flying fuck about any of that; no, they're doing it for money.
I'm sick of people glorifying these killing machines and ignoring the fact that they ultimately do more harm than good.
Blood of the innocent will forever remain on their hands
You are so full of your self dark matters . You sir are the true definition of a self absorbed asshole . The fantasy world you live in doesn't require soldiers and I would love to be a part of a crime free world , but it's not the world we live in . Yes these men and women are paid for their services even knowing they may not come out alive . This is a selflessness you will only dream of .

It's not selflessness it's either opportunity or a result of brainwashing.I don't live in a crime free world, but I know that violence will not cease violence, but only lead to more violence. We need to promote positive and understanding communication between the forces involved, otherwise life will be bloody and violent and all will be lost
Brain washing means they were told/tricked to join . They are not . The chose to join to protect people like you even if you don't appreciate it . No soldier wants to kill it's something they have to do .

Most young men don't know what they're getting themselves into (that's called being tricked) and that there is a great honour and duty to serve and fight for your country (that's called being encouraged to join)
Also history has shown us that a lot of soldiers derive pleasure from killing other men at war, it gives them an adrenaline rush, they feel like a badass (for lack of a better term) and they get paid for it.
Life without law and order will cease to exist . Suort our troops !

There is no order to life, if you think that you're an idiot. Life is chaotic and full of unknowns, you just want to comfort yourself with the idea that there is some order to the universe and that our existence has meaning. Sorry buddy it doesn't, you and I are just members of a species that will eventually go extinct
I thought you just said it was brainwashing ? He was not stupid . He chose to die as a man defending what he loved. His family their friends and even your stupid ass

Some are brainwashed, others are just plain stupid, it's better to live for your country than to die for it.

After all murder is wrong unless it is done in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets.
War is when old and bitter men send young and naive boys to kill one another
You went through hell, but that doesn't justify regarding all warfighters as monsters.
I've never considered what a conscripted army would do or how they'd respond to seeing such horrors.
I'm sorry.
Most western militaries are composed of mostly volunteers who at least have an idea of what they're getting into.
A soldier is occasionally allowed to return home for a week or two without ending their deployment.
