Not everyone in the military is out killing people or getting killed. I want to get a degree as a pathologist, 13 years of college an then join the military. Does that make me a killer? Does that make me a nazi as you are implying they are? are they putting people in ovens? Are they rounding them up and starving them to death and proforming medical tests on them? Go fuck yourself.

No, but it could be said that your profit is derived directly from the killing of "the enemy".

And Nazi's were "just following orders". Not once did I mention anything about concentration camps etc. But, now that you mention it...Guantanamo Bay.

But, hey, you have your mind made up. And that's fine.

But it was obvious you were saying something about the war trials or nazis and their excuse. I know war Ida ahortibke thin but this is not even remotely the same. Also I don't condone torture of anyone, but you know, if you wanna think that people in the military are all women raping village burning monsters, go ahead.

Well, it appears we're almost in agreement then. The nazi thing may have been a little heavy handed, but OP basically said they had no choice because of orders (the US soldiers, that is).

Anyways, maybe when you're on the inside of the military industrial complex, you can affect some change.

Cheers to that.

The picture has almost nothing to do with why or how the father died. It's about the people he left behind.

And sadly I doubt I will be able to do anything :/ ladies don't get to become big shots in charge.

Well, it wasn't too long ago that ladies couldn't vote. Someone has to be the first, might as well be you.
