American Soldiers and Blaming Americans
Ok, I just wanted to comment about how absolutely disgusting and horrible these recent American soldier rape cases are at present. Its really helpful (heavy sarcasm) sending out these young misdirected youth into the battle field to really help represent American culture (let alone that there are youth with this type of mentality in the first place…who and how are these kids getting raised?)
I’ve noticed the change when traveling abroad where people used to make the differentiation between the American military and administration, but now I get the constant: “Its you and your problem! You are to blame! Why isn’t anyone doing anything?”
Time to ramp up counter-measures, complaints and utter protest against what is happening!
… young misdirected youth …
Deserve nothing but scorn. I say they get a collective darwin award.

I think it’s partly down to the media demonising the country and muslims in general with the army recruiting large numbers of recruits from poorer areas where the education may not be all that you’d hope coupled with the almighty ego the army instills in its soliders. All added together you’ve got a bad situation where immature soliders have confused morals.

Yes, I totally agree with you JD. Misdirected youth that are our cultural representatives. I protest!
