You should leave and be the 95% of the world then.Originally posted by SMAPLionHeart:Almost 95% of the people in this world , doesn't serve NS ...does THIS mean that we should all serve NS before being able to comment?

Tom Clancy talked the most about war but he hasn't even served .Originally posted by M©+square:I'm not sure you know what you're talking about.
But i do know, you've got to go thru your NS before talking so much about war.
Whats your point?
Thomas Leo Clancy Jr. (born April 12, 1947), who writes under the name Tom Clancy, is an American author of political thrillers heavily based on intelligence and military science concepts; his name is also a brand for similar books written by other authors. His earlier books have a definite focus on the Cold War.
While the literary merit of his books is disputed by many professional authors and reviewers (who regard Clancy's prose as pedestrian), most have been bestsellers. Fans of his work appreciate the well-thought-out plots and the apparent attention to technical detail in military matters (helped by extensive contacts in the US military, perhaps encouraged by the uniformly favourable view of the American law enforcement and military communities portrayed in his work), although some other elements of his stories (e.g. computing and biology) are less well-researched.
In the year 1998, Tom Clancy attempted to purchase the Minnesota Vikings, and had a purchase agreement in place, but the deal fell through when his divorce settlement significantly decreased his net worth. He is currently the Vice Chairman of Community Projects & Public Affairs for the Baltimore Orioles.
Recently, Tom Clancy has criticised the US-led invasion of Iraq, citing it as proof that "good men make mistakes". Battle Ready, his latest book, is a collaboration with another war critic, retired Marine General Anthony Zinni. Clancy also had heated arguments with Richard Perle [1] (http://msnbc.msn.com/id/5053682/) [2] (http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2004/05/25/1085461759852.html?oneclick=true). -

That guy hasn't even served , yet his book are the bestsellers...
So why must i serve before i can write anything to comment?
You have obviously lost this argument..
Tom Clancy (born 1947) writes novels of adventure and espionage in the international military-industrial complex that have earned him enormous popularity in the 1980s as a creator of the "techno-thriller" genre.
Tom Clancy was born in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1947, the son of a mail carrier and a credit employee. After graduating Loyola College in Baltimore in 1969, Clancy married Wanda Thomas, an insurance agency manager, and became an insurance agent in Baltimore, and later in Hartford, Connecticut. In 1973, he joined the O.F. Bowen Agency in Owings, Maryland, becoming an owner there in 1980. His poor eyesight made him ineligible for a military career, but Clancy maintained an interest in the military and researched various aspects of the armed forces and military technology. The ideas for several novels and main characters he wrote in the 1980s were formed in the late 1970s while he was conducting research. During this time, Clancy wrote in his spare time while working and raisi..... (7.4 pages / 2209 words in this biography)

Well, you are commenting about the psychological impact of war on soldier's value systems.More than 5% of the world are soldiers,and those who have not served, or study military history or combat psychology are not the most qualified to comment.Originally posted by SMAPLionHeart:Almost 95% of the people in this world , doesn't serve NS ...does THIS mean that we should all serve NS before being able to comment?
Are you alright?
So..yours is merely conjecture without own argument of proof.Granted, you may comment, but don't raise your hopes too high because your arguments are too over the shop.Tighten them up and re-present.Using Tom Clancy doesn't count.He collates and talks to the soldiers, have you done so or immersed yourself in a military environment?
Please don't try too hard..go and sleep.Must wake early and revise..so that you can pass your As and not disgrace ACJC.And also to ensure you do not end up in mono-intake where they'll skin you alive.

And how do you know ? Btw, the torture case in Iraq was released by a fellow U.S. soldier, so for all you know, the british could have swept it all under the carpet (no offence to the british people, just taking them as a example upon SMAPLionHeart's mention) Anyway, i am interested in armies which do not pillage or rape on conquering or conquered lands, do you know of any ?Originally posted by SMAPLionHeart:I don't see British soldiers in Germany after WWII , even though subjected under intense stress , doing these sorta crimes ?? -

foreigners who rule other countries tend to abuse their powers.since they are in control they are king.who is to rebuke them for their wrongdoings when war is wrong in the first place.i seriously think that its not because of stress that they raped the girls but just aserting their authority by degrading the people of tat country.

I'm sure any Army will have its black sheep.It's human weakness, not force psychology that is flawed.For every rapist, there is a soldier who would die to protect a little girl.
SLAPLionButt is just denigrating the majority that serve and die for peace and security. -

If putting an worldwide global population at
"The current estimated world human population is 6,427,631,117"
There are an average AGAIN , you are wrong.
EVEN the largest country with the highest population in the world only has 2.5 million troops , for a populous country like China...
That means going by your saying , there are MORE THEN 120 CHINA-equivalent amount of troops
That means its impossible , cause you have said that THERE are more then 320 million army troops in this world.
Everyone knows that China has one of the biggest army in this world...so its impossible. -
The Army is the branch of the United States armed forces which has primary responsibility for land-based military operations. As of fiscal year 2002 (FY02), it consisted of 480,000 soldiers on active duty and 555,000 in reserve (350,000 in the Army National Guard (ARNG) and 205,000 in the Army Reserve (USAR). The Army was formed on June 14, 1775, before the establishment of the United States, to meet the demands of the American Revolutionary War.Originally posted by LazerLordz:Well, you are commenting about the psychological impact of war on soldier's value systems.More than 5% of the world are soldiers,and those who have not served, or study military history or combat psychology are not the most qualified to comment.

The United States Navy (USN) is the branch of the United States armed forces responsible for naval operations. The U.S. Navy consists of slightly fewer than 300 ships and over 4,000 aircraft. It has over a half million men and women on active or ready reserve duty.
Even if you add up these numbers and times two.....Thats only for the best armed forces in this world.
Don't tell me there are a 100 countries with armed forces the size of USA...
So basically , even the most it could reach would be 5% of the whole world's population for armed forces
you are wrong -
Behavior of noobs
Since noobs are basically ignorant bastards, they have a lot in common. The most often seen characteristic is their fluency in noobish, which is why it got its own section. They will also be very self confident as if they were the absolute best at what they are in fact the worst at. Also, they are quite agressive and self-centered, and tend to laugh a lot using many L's and O's in rapid sucession (the noobish word for laughing like an ultimate retard).
It is their instinct to assemble in packs for defense, and they often attempt to organize packs that they call teams. Unfortunately for them, teams usually result in a total loss of communication and they can often begin to fight amongst each other. These teams are quite unlike those formed by non-noobs.
Noobs have difficulty reading english and cannot comprehend the idea of authority. Therefore, they have an all-out disregard for rules, basic or not. A good way to identify a noob (bad) vs. a newb (good) is to tell them (or have an authority tell them) which rule they are unknowingly breaking. If they respond with an apology and fix it, they are probably not a noob. If they react by insulting everything around them in rapid noobish and causing general mayhem, it is because they are a noob and have had a small seizure due to their inability to understand what is happening.
BTW, this is copied for the n00b to reflect over. -

actually i mentioned that in my previous post too, absolute power corrupts. Stress definitely plays a important part too, the trauma of seeing your close ones dying may be too much to bear. How many times have we seen a person changed after their loved ones' death ? Now in a environment where killing or being killed is the only option, it is very unlikely that the amount of stress you are subjected won't change you, be it positive or negative.Originally posted by stellazio:foreigners who rule other countries tend to abuse their powers.since they are in control they are king.who is to rebuke them for their wrongdoings when war is wrong in the first place.i seriously think that its not because of stress that they raped the girls but just aserting their authority by degrading the people of tat country. -
