Well, why are you posting on a political messageboard then? I read your post and I still have no idea where the hell you actually stand based on how you jump from one topic to the next.
But, in fairness, you are right in that it is your opinion. You have your opinion that these solders actions are immoral. In your opinion, they are directly to blame for the immoral act. Even though your opinion may be shared by a very tiny percentage of people, you're entitled to it.
In my opinion, however, there are some soldiers who act immoral by many people's standards. Some may step over the line. But, I think the majority are fighting because it's their job, and they believe their job is essential to uphold the values and freedom we've established in the nation just as I believe. Also, in my opinion, I don't think it's fair to use a difference in political opinion or assumptions based on propaganda to judge these individuals in the way you have.
