I would just like to know, what are your (the above stated) views on the "War" on Iraq, or the mIddle East Confilct in general. My interest sparked when i was talking to one of my very good friend's older brother, who has been over there 4 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZenSilk Posted December 20, 2007 Author Share Posted December 20, 2007 ABout Iraq from people who have experienced it. Because I've only heard one Marine ever say that he didn't support it and was just in it for college. The rest were all Pro kill everything.

The military systems of all human civilizations are designed to negate identity and conscience, and to rape the mind of individual thought. Training marines to perceive objectively would be tactically antithetical to policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemmiwinks Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 I suppose it depends on who you ask. That's a major part of military effectiveness though, always has been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmokingDjinn Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 In regards to the marines who are pro kill everything. The marines who I have talked to were in service during the initial invasion of Iraq, and then served another term after the conquest of Iraq. What bothers them is that they have to wait until they are fired on until they can return fire, which makes it difficult to do there job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
