Well, some soldier surely do earn the respect, but the majority of soldiers today, are young fired-up kids, whom have been indoctrinated fame and fortune in the military line.
They blindly follow orders, and that does not earn respect in my book.edit on 7-1-2013 by mc4denmark because: (no reason given)

Those who willingly continue military control/dominance are the least respectable human beings on the planet.

Not at all. I don't believe in "countries", so I don't believe in nationalism. No more lives need to be lost in silly land disputes.

Those that generally look after our safety are in fact Police and ASIO, not Military...so let's call a spade a spade. Our nation is not officially at war with any nation.
Soldiers generally have my respect but the moment an individual soldier/s commits murder or immoral acts even if he/she is ordered to do so, that respect is gone.
