Do you also think that of the people who signed up for the military as medics or translators, or those who operate in the Pacific? Do you judge the translator working in South Korea the same as the soldier shooting A-rabs?

Everyone in this thread is acting like the ISIS thing is the only thing going on in the world right now.

They knew they were joining up to support those who were doing the abuse. There is a reason why accomplices are also charged with crimes. Just because they are not at the sharp end, does not mean their hands are clean in this. They could join civilian organizations with the same remit, but without a military interaction.

There's also a reason that if a CEO and board members of a corporation are found to be corrupt, they generally don't arrest the mail room intern. How is a translator working in Korea supporting American military actions in the Middle East?

A corporation (apart from Lockheed) doesn't have committing that crime as its raison d'etre, which is something you seem to have trouble understanding.

Arguable really. Someone who was extremely anti Wall Street would say that bankin corps do have crime as its raison d'être. Do you arrest the mail room intern there?

Now you are reaching in your defense of the military, you've finally found something that isn't comparable. Congratulations. If the mail room boy joined knowing the sales and management were breaking the law and knew he might be called on to participate in that fraud, then I sure would. There are certainly employees of some companies, no matter how junior, that I wouldn't associate with because I don't support them or the company goals.

Wait. Are you thinking I'm the anon from the above thread making ISIS comparisons? I'm not, I was only asking to see how far your philosophies went.

Seeing as everyone knows Wall Street is shady but people work in it and places related to it anyway, I assume you do think every mail room clerk in a bank is a criminal, and can conclude that there's no point in bothering to argue with you further.

So bye.

As someone who grew up near a lockheed plant that mostly made equipment for the United States Postal System, I see you don't know much about Lockheed as a corporation either. They also have a helicopter division that does things like... Presidential helicopters!

The people who work at Lockheed are people who are normal folks who are doing a job and need that job. So, when the President decides he "Doesn't need" a new helicopter and then turns around and gives that job to the Italians, that means 700 people in an already economically depressed area, are out of a job. which is not good for anybody.

I've never had a discussion with someone who was a military medic or a translator. I did meet someone who disarmed bombs and was pretty nice, and I've read some nice writing by an extraction specialist.
