That said, do you want your fighting force to be composed of people who think as individuals? An army must act as one, its the only way to achieve objectives. One of the objectives, BTW, is and always has been to spill as little blood as possible.
If you question the actions of a military force, write your congressman or representative. Don't question the mindset and credibility of those at the frontlines.

I agree with your first point, we can agree to disagree.
Your fighting force is composed of individuals, Is'nt it? Theyre still individuals arent they?
Why isnt one of the objectives to spill no blood? Why is killing people accepted?
Governments spend billions on anti-drugs campaigns, cancer research, homeless shelters etc to save people & then spend many many times more go overseas & slaughter foreigners?
I figure was is the responsability of everyone frontlines or not.
If you take a gun point it & shoot someone why are you not responsable?
If you order people to drop bombs on a city why are you not responsable?
Tell your kids that guns are bad, Zero tolerance in your schools schold them for violent behaviour & when they grow up congratulate them for going overseas & killing other humans. What the fuck is a war hero anyway?
Shot a stranger in the face? Give this boy a medal!
I know its an unpopular opinion but im entitled to it.
