He said that the American soldiers when they would go into a town would kill every sign of life their was. The men, the women, the children, the pets, the animals, everything. They'd just kill it.
There appears to be a culture engrained into the US armed forces of being the ultimate power and not being answerable to anyone, and its nearly impossible to change such a culture.
I guess that many parts of Europe learnt valuable lessons from World War Two which the United States did not, especially in the area of human rights. But things can change and the wheel turns and the US will pay for their behaviour.
Its easy to understand why parts of the world hate America so much when they only exposure they get to the United States is their armed forces. If many people in these countries got to hang out with your general Americans they probably wouldn't feel the need to crash planes into buildings... |
oh please, stop with the BS. the shyt u hear in the news are isolated incidences blown out of proportion. until u talk to a real soldier from irak or afghanistan, your only going to be basing your assumptions on edited material.
with the vietnam war, the viet cong also massecred people and treated our POW's brutally. its war, and things happen.
