Reply #19: The way these soldiers are behaving is putting us more in danger

[Bandit]

If you wish for us to respect the military it must take a stand on the abuse and total disregard to Rules of Warfare. Why are they robbing every house they enter? Why are they raping and pillaging not to even mention the torture of innocents along with the guilty. Why are common civilians interned alongside hardened criminals? When the military stands up and says no more of these tactics then I will start showing some respect. They need to earn it and by all accounts they are doing the exact opposite. We are in much more danger because of Iraq and the Bush* Cabal than at almost any other time in our history and you want us to be thankful. The more these soldiers get a conscience and quit the rampaging the better off America will be. We used to be better than that.
