The American soldier, a true monster

    Here is another article of what the American soldier is like.

    "Less than two weeks after arriving on base, he was gang-raped in the barracks by men who said they were showing him who was in charge of the United States. When he reported the attack to unit commanders, he says they told him, 'It must have been your fault. You must have provoked them.'”

    "women in the armed forces are now more likely to be assaulted by a fellow soldier than killed in combat"

    Are you US Army fanboys still going to tell me these are just isolated incidents? No you can't, it's obvious that American soldiers are true monsters.

    I have presented evidence that proves they are monsters, time and time again.

    "A US military hearing has examined testimony of how three soldiers took it in turns to try to rape an Iraqi girl aged 14 in Mahmudiya in March. "

    It looks like the US Soldier is no better than your average Mexican Mafia ganster-animal in a maximum security slammer.

    And what do you expect a neutral country to do about it ?
    Why don't you post that on an American forum ?

    Or are you like a gossipy woman who will bitch behind peoples back but never to their face ?

    OP, what's with the hard on for Americans?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,967 ✭✭✭✭mikemac


    An army is run by the officer for the officers

    What I find in all these investigations is it's always lowly privates and NCO's who get named and shamed and jailed.

    But the officer in charge of them lawyer up and get away though they are responsible for leading and managing them.

    Same in any business too I suppose, **** rolls downhill

    And realy OP. You could have started this thread on the Russian army. Suicide among recruits is sadly common. But you're like the Galway Alliance Against War, if it's the USA or Isreal they are automatically terrible and every other nation are saints

    There's 1,477,896 active personal in the american military and a futher 1,458,500 reserve persona, so thats nearly 3 million people. I will need more than your 2 quotes to convince me that their all monsters.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,575 ✭✭✭NTMK


    So almost 1.5 million soldiers are monsters

    or

    you're making a gross generalisation


    I know what i believe

    Yay, gang rape - 9 out of 10 people say they enjoyed it!.

    I eat breakfast 300 yards from 4000 Cubans who are trained to kill me, so don't think for one second that you can come down here, flash your posts, and make me nervous.

    Are you saying every single American soldier is a true monster? Or do you have a balanced view? You seem to be very good at cherry picking. I'm sure if you looked, you'd find some nice stories about American soldiers that'd warm your heart. Having said that, there undoubtedly are some monsters among them.

    Someone has to be up there on that wall rape his fellow soldiers so you can sleep at night.

    I have some sympathy for US military personnel, they're the ones invariably in the firing line due to political posturing, big oil influence or religious fanaticism. On the other hand what nut job is so anxious to go to an arid and inhospitable shíthole and get shot at and suicide bombed?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 118 ✭✭SirenX


    my dad used to be in the army and if that had happened the perpetrators would've gotten their big toes shot off so they could never be in the army again.

    that is just evil


    but I wouldn't say that all of the american army are monsters. there is always the few that do wrong but that doesn't count for the entire army

    American Soldiers....often wear green? I like the generalisation game.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,327 ✭✭✭Sykk


    "Michael Jackson is alive"

    "Barack Obama now taoiseach of Ireland"

    I can do it too.

    Oh, it's you, again.

    Look, you got proven wrong several fu*king times over, give it up.

    The fact is: people are monsters, not just people in America's Army.

    But... if all American soldiers are monsters, the guy who got raped was a monster too!

    Don't try to cover the entire army with a few people's actions, the world and its people do not work like that.

    Yes, sweeping generalisations will really get you somewhere, ffs....

    Some dude got buttsexed against his will and suddenly they are all monsters.

    Its gross and a generalisation. And also a gross generalisation.

    does the USAF count? what about these guys are they monsters?
    At around 3:30 p.m. on Oct. 30, 1991, the crew of Jolly 10 — a five-man Air Force combat search and rescue team — lifted off from the Francis Gabreski Air National Guard Base in Westhampton Beach, N.Y. The mission: Save a lone Japanese yachtsman foundering in rough waters 270 miles southeast of Long Island's coast.
    During the three-hour hop, the chopper sucked down several thousand pounds of fuel, gassing up twice in flight from an HC-130 Hercules. On the return trip the helicopter would need to "hit" the tanker twice more.
    Arriving on scene, the crew quickly surmised that any rescue attempt would be nearly impossible. Seventy-foot seas, 80 mph gusts and darkness made diving into the drink a risky venture for Spillane and fellow pararescueman Tech. Sgt. Arden "Rick" Smith.

    if i remember right the HC130 was USMC and they stayed out well past the point of no return and landed with no fuel on a beach just so they could provide much needed fuel to the PJs.

    more here
    Both aircraft flew into wicked weather conditions and the helicopter was unable to take fuel in flight. The aircraft was forced to ditch in the Atlantic Ocean about 60 miles south of the base and the crewmembers were in the fight of their lives in what would later become known as the Perfect Storm. The mission was recounted both in the best selling book and the major motion picture and both provided a fitting tribute to the only crewmember who was not recovered by the valiant efforts of the crew of Coast Guard Vessel Tamaroa. TSgt Arden “Rick” Smith, pararescuman (PJ), gave the ultimate sacrifice that day so “That Others May Live.”
    TSgt Smith gave his life for the people on that boat, to date his body hasnt been recovered.

    http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa3731/is_200007/ai_n8912127/
    With only 15 minutes of fuel remaining, Ruvola brought the helicopter down so the crew could ditch in the ocean while Buschor issued a mayday call picked up by a nearby U.S. Coast Guard Cutter, the Tamaroa.

    Just as Ruvola brought the HH60 down, one of its two engines died, forcing the crew to bail out into 70-foot waves. The PJs went first. Smith jumped into the darkness and was never seen again. Spillane went next, breaking both wrists and a lower leg bone, cracking foul ribs and nearly his kidney from the impact.


    In December 1994, the 106th Rescue Wing launched two HH-60s from Gabreski Airport on a mission that would take them to Halifax, Canada and then, 750 miles out over the Atlantic to search for survivors of the Ukrainian merchant vessel Salvador Allende. After searching the sea, one survivor was spotted. .....After searching the sea, TSgt James “Doc” Dougherty jumped into the water and retrieved the last living member of the crew, Alexander Taranov. The two helicopters then began the arduous seven-hour return flight to Halifax, Nova Scotia. During the 15-hour mission, the two helicopter crews were refueled in flight 10 times by the Wing’s HC-130s.

    The 106th Rescue Wing received national attention again in July 1996 when its aircraft and rescue personnel were the first unit on-scene after the TWA Flight 800 disaster


    Oh and the 106th were one of the first responders in NYC during the events of Sept 11th. Other PJ units were flown from Italy to Turkey to assist turkish rescue and medical crews after an earthquake, yep i guess they are all monsters.
