Do you serve in the military?

[Aethrys]

There were no planes in the video you linked, let alone any RPAs.

Maybe I had the wrong video? I was meaning to link to the one leaked by Bradley Manning in which a military plane is used to summarily execute innocent civilians.

I didn't see anything like that. I saw footage from a helicopter gun cam showing collateral damage. No planes at all.

Btw I like your nation flag...Metro 2033 was a freaking awesome game!

Yeah, I hope THQ dissolving won't affect Last Light.

No such video exists.

Whatever, helicopters. And "collateral damage"is just another way of saying the summary execution of innocent civilians.

Used to serve in FDF. Now I am in the reserves.

You don't actually know what "summary execution" means, do you?

Apparently no.

Murder, on the spot, by the government, without trial, no questions asked. The military is part of the government.

I suppose I should answer the OP's question at some point...

US Army National Guard, MOS: 19k
USMC, MOS: 0331/8156

[Jassysworth 1]

Not yet...

But someday I'll join the military so I get to fight terrorists, protect my country, spread democracy and save people from corrupt, authoritarian dictatorships...

People in the military are brave patriots and heroes.

It's hard to imagine you in a combat role, may I asked what you were equipped with when you worked as a 0331?

Why?

[North Stradia]

Wrong.

Whatever. Whether itś summary execution or not, itś still murder. Murder of innocent civilians who committed no crime besides being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

[Jassysworth 1]

''You can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs...''

You can't fight a modern war without killing a few civilians.


If you want freedom and security... there is a price to pay and someone has to do the job of protecting the country.

Not sure, the idea was just a surprising one when it first hit me. Mind if I asked what you were equipped with when you were a 0331?

The National Guard unit I was with was a joke. They were the stereotypical weekend warriors, so I decided "Fuck it, I'll go active duty." I decided since I was going active duty I'd follow in my father's footsteps. He was a Marine in the Korean War.

Killing of civilians is murder. Period.
I don't believe that countries should exist, so defending a country is meaningless to me. (which is also why I have no problem with treason)

Murder implies intent.

The Ma Deuce, Mark 19, and M60 were our weapons of choice.

I know what you mean, but that's the guard for you. Hence I went straight active duty. I was going to join the Marines like my grandfather (nam vet), but decided to follow my dad in the Air Force. Not as hoorah or hua as the other branches, but I still get the job done.

[Dyakovo]

Wrong again.

Also:

Casualties in the Iraq war. Dark blue is coalition forces, green is Iraqi forces, gray is insurgents/enemies, and orange is - you guessed it - civilians.

Doesn't matter what you call it... killing a few civilians is pretty much a Must Happen in modern warfare and especially when the enemy sinks so low they'll disguise themselves as civilians to attack out troops, plant bombs on civilians, have civilians help hide terrorists, and use civilians as human shields.

If they won't play by the rules, then you can't expect us to always... we try to but a few civilians will have to get killed. It's just a fact of the matter of modern warfare.


You have no problem with treason?

So you don't believe countries should NOT exist and have no problem with people betraying their countries and YET you (presumably) live in a country and enjoy all the benefits of living in a country and having soldiers protect the country. Seems legit...
