1. I am not trolling
2. I am saying the opposite of that. Genocide is murdur. However, Australian soldiers are professionals - they are not mercenaries, murderers or comitters of genocide.

Off topic a bit.

I really hate it when modern war widows with kids complain about how hard life is going to be because their husband died in Iraq. Especially the ones that marry them when they are already soldiers.

You were married to someone in a high risk job. Why complain?

They get a heap of money and benefits from the government though.

Ok putting aside the Waffen-SS example

The Wermacht. Professional soldiers. Didnt commit genocide generally. Mostly conscripts. Just doing their job. Invaded Poland, Greece, France, North Africa, Crete, Russia etc.

Heroes.

Murder means the intent to take someone's life through violent means. Being a soldier, you are trained and paid to fatally wound other people. So when I pick up a gun, shoot some arab through the head 5 times I am a hero not a murderer because I'm wearing a camo uniform. Fuck. You are the worst poster ever in the history of the world.

I am ashamed I have a brain how UNOSTRAYAN of me

Lets not forget how many civilians are killed by big headed soldiers who think its fun to attack unarmed families, rape women and make people do sex acts for their enjoyment.

We need troops incase of emergency or crisis and its better to have experienced and well trained up troops at your disposal.

So people who sign up for that I think are doing their bit for their country.

But people who sign up thinking killing people is cool and all iraqis are evil are scumbags.

Being a soldier means you follow orders.

Tbh I would be more inclined to revere soldiers who have gone against orders to save lives; soldiers with a conscience.

but the bravery of some is something to admire

Those soldiers are acting outside of the law though and would be jailed if intent was shown and it could be proved, just like any other person who committed those acts would be.
