When human beings sign up to be part of armed services, they are abdicating their own moral responsibility, and allowing others to make those hoices for them. In reality the others are not making the choices for them because ultimately it is every single human being's choice to take the actions that they take. It is no excuse to say a soldier is only following orders; they are deciding to follow those orders, knowing full well what the consequences are. If everybody took full responsibility for their own actions, there would be more honesty and hopefully less deceit and death. The only real freedom is that of personal responsibility.

You support the troops because theyre there to fight a war they had no say in. They take their orders and do as theyre told. When they signed up for service, they were signing up to defend America, not to occupy other countries for oil. I support the troops just like people supported the troops in Vietnam, which was also a fraud. They were there against their will, they have no say as to where they are deployed and what type of war they fight. Of course there are some troops who do fucked up things, but I still support the troops, they sacrficing themselves for no reason that is beneficial to us, they just dont know it or cant do anything about it.
