You can't change years of inbred bias if you are born/brought up that way but you can be prepared to have an open mind & listen to both sides of the argument however petty so as to prepare your own opinion.
IIRC living in Belfast/Derry (oops should I say Londonderry or City of Derry?) in the 70s the actual reality was never quite as portrayed on BBC News, let alone the American versions. We had yanks come visit us that were convinced that if they stepped inside the 6 counties they'd be shot/blown up so they'd take the extra 150 miles round by Donegal Town (extra boggy bog roads too ) just to ensure they were in no danger...

Anyone else missing "Current World Events" - This thread takes me back to the good/bad (delete as per your view) Old Days .
Moses - I thought Muslims were supposed to oppose all forms of violence etc - at that the "infidels" will get sorted out at the gates to "Heaven/Hell" ??

If the truth was known, we would probably find that most world leaders don't give a stuff about soldiers or civilians losing their lives on either side when they are persuing their careers, unless it might affect their votes. Especially stupid "passe" Generals trying to get a bit of cheap popularity by trying to appear ever so "manly".
Yes I know it is a cynical view but I bet its not that inaccurate.

The bizarre moral world of ScoobyNet.
Suggest people have the right to shoot anyone for any reason on their property = OK
Suggest "iraqis have every right to chop american soldiers heads off" = OK
Suggest people have the right to kill/harm/discourage stray cats that sh*t on their garden = Thread Vaped.

pps Mods the line above is a reference to Moses's preference for a $hite football team and a long lost area of thier home ground (Tym Park) not a racist / homophobic slant on his or anyone else's character

Why oh why do people post without engaging their brain first. Referring to the original post by moses, the Aljezerra story was taking it's story and quotations directly from an NBC affiliate website in the US. Aljezeera were not making anything up, they were quoting accurately from the story source. You can find it here:- http://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/4153541/detail.html
Maybe people should keep an open mind and listen to different sides of the argument and not just give the same old lazy knee-jerk reaction.
[/rant]
It is true that soldiers get a buzz out of battle, usually the "executing the battle plan effectively" type of buzz, not usually doing the killing. I am sure all armies has it's share of psychos, but it does seem to be more prevelant in the US army, especially the marines (?).
War has become abstracted. It's often fought at greater distances. Precision weapons mean you don't need to be as close (or even with range of the enemy) to strike at them. You can use drones to fly overhead and relay live pictures back. You can get weapons systems to work in harmony to provide overwhelming destruction of a small area. It's a cliche, but wars are becoming more and more like video games.
And as with all wars, the enemy is demonised so your own troops can remain dispationate about the job they have to do. But the US military does seem to be more gung-ho about the way they conduct warfare, the language they use, the whoops and hollers and high fives, the higher number of friendly fire incidents....
An interesting question is why we should regard a beheading as so much more abhorrent than sending a precision munition into a building from a range of tens of kilometers. Is death any less painless if you are caught by shrapnel from a megabucks precision guided missile instead of a knife? Is life of an Iraqi worth any less than any other nation?
Every soldier must be prepared to kill, but to tell an audience of 200 people including reporters and TV crews that you enjoy doing it is disturbing. This guy leads Camp Pendleton's 1st Marine Corps Division in Iraq and is responsible for Marine Corps combat development. His men will take their lead from him and he says its fun to kill.
