How many people did US soldiers shoot in Iraq? How many women and children were killed by US bombs? How many women were raped by US soldiers In Iraq? How many people were killed from chemical weapons supplied to Saddam by the US? How many people were killed by weapons supplied by the US? How many children starved from sanctions imposed by the US? How many people died because we destroyed their water treatment facilities?

When you decimate a country it is the savages that tend to rise up and take power.

Pretty sure we could reduce the whole by 10% and not make a dent. How many people did th eUS shoot in Iraq? Are you talking insurgents, those killed in crossfires or those that we randomly mowed down because it was fun?

Sanctions starve someone? Explain how North Korea still has a population.

The two definitions listed first as a transitive verb refer to the removal of one tenth. I stand by my assertion. Also, you can't construct sentences properly with single and dual syllable words, so why are you trying to church up what you can't do?

Troops do not have the luxury of choosing who or why they fight. They swear an oath to obey the orders of the President of the United States. I'll be cold and dead in the ground before I swear an oath to that fuckhead.

That said, I respect and appreciate the contribution of our military and its members to our global influence. Other nations call us ignorant, backwards, and discoureous, but they never call us weak.

Not really, Constitution above all else. We follow constitutional orders.

What do you mean not really? You agree support amd defend the constitution,....... AND OBEY THE ORDERS OF THE PRESIDENT.

it doesn't say "or" it says "and"

I'm not saying I wouldn't pick the constitution of over the president, but in the oath you swear to follow both, not pick one, by picking while you are enlisted, you technically break the oath.

[matts5.0]

According to regulations and the ucmj and in the ucmj it states that you not follow an unconstitutional order.
