I realize that as a man who is proud of his country, and proud of the armed forces and the men who serve in them, it must pain you very much to have to stand there (figuratively) and listen to someone tell you that such-and-such percent of them are rapists. But sticking your head in the sand or beating up the messenger doesn't make those crimes disappear, and ignoring the problem is no way to solve it and make the best military on the planet even better.

There is a difference between recognizing flaws in an outstanding group of people, and considering them less then average due to those flaws.

And my feelings are not patriotic. I would want to kick a French mans ass if I can across one who had zero resect for the french solder that chose to risk his life to protect there's.

Freedom is not free. It's payed for by the men and women who volunteer to serve. Give them some credit.

"The military does plenty of great things, but they are people like anyone else.  I think it is very noble to fight for your country, but I also think that fighting is rarely the best solution.  Like I said, I have nothing personal against the military, and I think it is a noble cause, but not everyone in the military is an honest person, just like how not everyone on the street is an honest person."

"People are people.  Whatever they are doing they aren't perfect.  That doesn't mean they are bad people, it just means that I don't give people in any walk of life unconditional praise.  Politicians are dishonest, poor people are dishonest, rich people are dishonest, and people in the military are also dishonest.  All of those people can do great things, but all of them are also human."

"It's not that I don't like the military, although your mind which tends to look at a situation as either a 1 or a 0 might see it that way, I just don't think we should give them a free pass on everything just because they are in the military."

Akuma makes the point SEVERAL TIMES that he is saying they are people just like anyone else, so for you to suggest based on those posts that he believes they are inferior to civilians is very perplexing.
