United States Armed Forces

I have to say, this discussion is going along smoothly. But let us divert to another subject on the United States Armed Forces. I am shot out of ideas for a new subject so who has a new topic?

 

To add to subject I would like to shift our constant focus the Army and the Marine Corps (a lot of Few and Proud, ha ha) and shift it to different branches.

 

The United States Air Force indeed plays a very important role in monitoring the skies above America. They also do a great deal of controlling the containment of nuclear warheads that we have scattered around the country. They also help support our ground troops by reconnaissance and assisting in tactical air assaults and bombings.

 

However, the U.S. Marine Corps is no picnic.

 

I still find very amazing that in only a few years, military technology has advanced a great deal. Only in some recent years have we made severe amounts of technilogical advances such as surface-to-air missiles and the like.

 

When you sign up for the armed forces you also sort of sell yourself to experiments.

 

For instance, when you're being shipped off to foreign country they may inject you with let's say a newly developed vaccine for something. There is a reason why we have a few super soldiers these days.

 

To truly counter your points I have a few things to say to that:
1. The idea of a "super soldier" is totally unrealistic. Moreover, when you say that when you sign your name up you give yourself to science to the betterment of the Armed Forces you are not taking onto yourself an unrealistic "I can lift a tank with my bare hands, fear me!"
2. China is pretty much the last person to ever talk about another country in terms of military planning, they are on their own path towards an economic explosion (for the better of their own country) so I seriously doubt that they would meddle in something that they themselves do not spend a lot of money on.
3. If humans seem like monsters for having world leaders establish groups of men and women who for the most part agree to sign up to them for whatever reason then you must be saying that murderers, rapist, drug dealers, and even dictators (Hitler was one and I'm sure as Hell he was a monster by all meaning of the word) because I hope to God that everyone here is able to truly label an individual who has no control over what kind of order he or she is given to follow them (there was an extreme amount of sarcasm in that statement) a monster.
4. Soldiers have gone through extreme mental degradation due to the things that they have seen so I am very much so sure that they don't point a gun at another individual that points another gun with both of them thinking "I don't even know the guy but he/she is going to kill me if I don't pull this trigger first."
