I can ask you the same question regarding having any type of respect for someone who is putting their life on the line for YOU and your country. If it wasn't for them fighting and serving in the armed forces then it would be YOU or I being drafted (well maybe not you because you live in Canada, which makes it even more clear to me your simply just trolling). You are basing your entire argument on the fact that the average soldier has murderous intentions, which is total bullshit. He is simply doing his duty. The morality of his actions depend on the intention of the leaders who have sent him to war. That being said, there are obviously soldiers who may have murderous intentions and use the cover of warfare to carry them out, but to say that's the majority is ridiculous.
I'm sure you'll rebuttal with some witty remark such as:"well soldiers are all morons who aren't educated and all believe in the war they are fighting", but I'm pretty sure there's been sufficient proof in this thread to counter that claim. Obviously you are here to stir emotions (same as the reason this video was initially posted) and I wont be feeding the fire any more than I already have. Ive said my piece and don't have much else to say that hasn't already been posted here already.
