| Slaughtered in the sense of what Hitler, Stalin, Saddam, and several other ruthless dictators have done, no. Has the military killed civilians during the course of the wars it has fought, sure has, but please point to a nation that has not killed a civilian during war time. If you want to list the US as a terriost group feel free to. But by all means please come to the US with whatever army you wish and try to take us over on your charges. As for your acqusitions of torture, shooting civilians, abducting people, bombing families and propping up dictators well lets take these one at a time:
Torture: Something that has been done since the beginning of war. At least now a days the use none leathal torture. They don't stretch you, draw and quarter, electicute, and so on.
Shot Civilians: In every war you have a soldier in all armies that isn't exactly with it. When the kill a civilian for no reason, yes that soldier should be tried. When I am dropping a bomb from a plane 30,000ft in the air on a target where I know 10 terriorsts are and also happens to be 10 civilians, no. The civilians know they are known terriorst so stay away.
Abducted people: Its called arresting them.
Bombed familes: Please show me a story where one of our soldiers has strapped a bomb to his chest or filled his Humvee with C4 and drove it into a crowded market killing a 100 people.
Proped up dictators: Again please point this out.  |
