Well I will have to disagree with a couple of issues though perhaps not with your ideology. It is not possible to have an effective military who thinks for themselves or questions orders.
Effective at what? Killing?
The Nazis were incredibly effective at killing. And they didn't question orders either.
Thus, the problem.
Yes that is what I mean by effective. That is what war is about after all and you've kind of proved my point by referencing the Nazi's. You must follow orders to be effective and if you have people that are allowed to question orders and pick and choose what actions they want to take you will not have an army that is effective at killing.
This is what military's do and why they are created.
George Washington said it very well when his soldiers were deserting and the war looked like it would be lost. He said, "You can fight a war for independence but independence cannot win a war"

So wait a minute are you saying that you believe all the soldiers in the military know what is going on and are bad and just as bad as the globalist masterminds? Becuase they are going along with it.

My husband served 22 yrs as a military police narcotics/explosives dog handler in the US ARmy. He retired last April.
I, of course, disagree with you. I thank him everyday for his selfless service.
For our family, it was join the military or be a drain on society and draw welfare because there are no jobs in our little appalachian hometown. He did it to earn his money.
You are entitled to your opinion, because the blood of many soldiers gave you that right.

And, while your beloved troops are murdering people around the globe, yes, I said murdering
Murder isn't simply the act of killing someone. It's a legal term that defines an unlawful killing. The adjective unlawful makes all the difference
The Geneva Conventions are a famous set of rules that govern what is and isn't legal during war. The rules of war dictate that it's illegal to fire upon a surrendering, unarmed or otherwise helpless enemy, or to attack any building used as a hospital.
They blindly believe what was told to them by the people who have a vested interest in maintaining myths and misconceptions.
Here is another question Americans have not asked, “How can an Iraqi, Pakistani, Afghan or Islamic fundamentalist in other nations take away our freedom?” The answer to this question is of course...by becoming a member of the US Congress.
I don't know about you, but I want to be proud of my country for real reasons, not mythical ones.

This is the most disgusting thread I have seen in awhile.
Those who criticize the US Military and the troops do not understand how the world works.
But what do you expect from the "Blame America First" crowd?

Say what? I didn't blindly believe what I was told, in fact most of my marine buds kept what was told in question, however because of contract and the conditions of which we signed up, the chain of command puts us in a position to follow lawful orders, not blindly believe.
