Oh god, how low as a species can be go? total dehumanisation.

The armed forces can ONLY function and get people to go abroad and kill complete strangers by communicating that the 'enemy' is SUB-HUMAN.

That is the psychology behind any state operated war machine.

We need not be surprised at all then when we hear of soliders raping and killing children. We are encouraged to support 'our troops' in these actions abroad in the name of liberty and freedom. It's all mythical. It's just western imperialism and economics. The arms trade is an industry like any other and you have to construct wars and reasons to use them. along the way you can totally flatten a country and then send in western contractors to rebuild the devastated infastructure you have created and you can even install a pro-western leadership as well, before you leave.

I know I am preaching to the converted here, but I wanted to vent!

I just wish people would stop signing up and thinking there is anything at all noble about going abroad and killing people all for the ruling class elites. You are total fodder as a soldier and expendable. Look at how they have treated the troops that have come back from Iraq with plutonium related illnesses.
