Thread: Soldiers are not heroes wtf

was just reading this on a site, pretty trippy yeah? any thoughts?

are they really heroes?

Putting on a soldiers uniform does not make you a hero. Most generally agree that the wars that our armed forces are participating in at the present time and in recent years are unnecessary and unjust. Therefore we don't feel that we should be pressured into offering "support" to people fighting and killing innocent people for causes that we don't believe in.

We recognize that the government are mainly to blame but also think that members of the forces need to take responsibility for their own actions in choosing to support these causes. Soldiers have free will and the opportunity to not sign/re-sign up if they feel they are being asked to participate in an unjust war, so they also deserve a proportion of the blame if they choose to stay.

We also find it amusing how so many of those who claim to "protect our freedoms of speech" tell us to shut up, or be duffed up.

Soldiers are not heroes. They can be heroes, they can act heroically, they can do heroic things - but the act of putting on a uniform and agreeing to put your conscience in a lockbox for the next so many years does not make your life more important than others, it does not make your opinions and insights more worthy of respect than others, it does not exempt you from moral judgment. It does not make you a hero

What a class less fool. More then likely some stupid teen with a fringe thought this up.

Yeah True



If they wernt there just imagine the damage the world would be in.



I'd break my arm before i would go to war, I'll stick to the pistol range.

I can't even begin to believe this person knows what they're talking about!!! Soldiers are TOLD what to do, they don't have a choice and maybe the soldiers this person is talking about might make his/her life alot safer than it could be and even save his/her life through their heroic acts. They use their free will to sign up to SAVE PPLS LIVES and to PROTECT THEIR COUNTRY. "Sign on the dotted line and be excercised like crazy to be able to save your country, Oh and do as your told or your out." "Oh yeah, u might die too". I'd like to see this idiot in combat of any kind to see if he still thinks this way after it.
