The US soldiers are professional killers who fallow orders. They don't have much professionalism at all when it comes to any of the causes they are fighting for.

If these soldiers had any professionalism at all, they would not have gone to war based on lies. The majority of US soldiers stationed in Iraq didn't actually know why they were there. Is that professionalism?

If you don't know why you are fighting, you don't know what your goals are. Is that professionalism?

It's really not up to the soldiers when they go to war. What good would any army be, if they could all pick and choose when they serve, and whether or not they agree with the cause? Might as well not have an army at all, if that were the case. And to generalize, and place the blame for this atrocity on all soldiers, is just as wrong as blaming all muslims for the actions of extremists and terrorists. There are many soldiers who serve with honor, they don't deserve to catch the hell for this.

As the other poster said, it's our leaders who are to blame for these unjust wars. They're bought and paid for, and sending our troops to die to secure their corporate masters' financial interests. It's also our fault, for allowing our corrupt leaders to divide us so easily, and allowing them to stay in power even though we all know they're corrupt to the core, and we all know they don't serve us or our interests. But we, as a whole, allow them to stay in power. They are putting enormous stress and pressure on our troops, sending them on multiple deployments into these countries where they are not wanted. Do you think they wouldn't rather be back home with us? It's no surprise, given human nature, that they sometimes lose it. That's not an excuse, but it is a reason why.

You don't see the real problem in what you are saying.

We can not blame our leaders, for all the work and sacrifice we do for them.

If we think that we don't have any moral obligation to the things we do. Than we are nothing but stupid sheep, and don't have a right to complain about anything. We can at least not complain about our leaders because we do the deeds for them. That makes us just as evil as them.

I just saw a movie called: A Few Good Men: At the end of the move one of the marines say:

We are not supposed to fight the weak, we are supposed to fight for them.
