It's perfectly relevant, Eagle.
I damn straight complicit in what my country does and tells me to do. The point is that I'd happily drive shooting over a fair number of moral event horizons if that's what I was told to do (now, to be honest, there's obviously limits to what I'd consider a legal order, but for the purposes of this discussion, we can ignore these extreme cases because I'm, without a doubt, going to lean on the side of "shoot it to make sure," and therefore on the wrong end of morality), that's why there's civilians at the top of the chain of command.
There exists times where naked military force is necessary
It is better for this force to be overwhelming
Overwhelming force requires the best soldiers and doctrine possible
It's impossible to be a truly good soldier without aggression and understanding
--> Effectively, loving war to some extent
Soldier's can *not* have an unbiased view, so we need to take orders from someone
So yeah, I'm complicit, and I'm perfectly okay with that. I swore to follow my lawful orders and to protect my scrap of paper. However, all that I care about is that my orders come from higher up. If I'm dammed, I dammed for it, but that's life.
Being blindly obedient is
not a good thing. This is especially ironic in the "land of the free". You have the freedom (which, incidently many people in millitary battles died for) but you are choosing to ignore that freedom. It is important that you question everything and apply logic to any given situation, including accepting the fact that the person that ordered you to do whatever may have not.
The only thing that seems to act as a roof of what you would do is the legality of the orders. Do you have no compassion?
There may exist times where naked military force is necessary, but that does not mean that any order that is given to you implies that it is this time. After stating that your limits are legal, this statement has no meaning, since you would follow orders regardless wheather it was actually necessary or not. It is important to apply critical thinking here to work out wheather it is necessary, rather than just use this as an excuse to justify blind obedience.
It's impossible to be a truly good soldier without aggression and understanding
You have the aggression but lack understanding. Furthermore you have implied before that you don't want understanding, just shoot what is scary while following orderes.
How can you "love war"? I understand it as a necessary evil sometimes, but love? peoples families are destroyed, it causes misery.
Any reasonable human being should feel some compassion for the people who suffer in the horrors of war.
In the later posts you stated something about evil.
There is no such thing as absolute evil. Bad people are doing what they do for some reason, however twisted it may be. If you view the enemy as 'evil' you will never make progress.
Everything you have stated are the exact things that leads to war. they are the things that leads to bloody conflicts, to misery and destruction. The soldiers on both sides shutting off their rational minds and following blindly is exactly what leads to war, to enemies forming and fighting.
It is a very good thing that you are not giving orders. You would be responsible for causing misery "to be safe rather than sorry".
My mind is boggled trying to understand how anyone could completely ignore any rationale behind what they are doing, do it, and love it. My mind is boggled as to how you can identify this flaw, and just can't be bothered to think anymore about this, just go on ignoring issues you have correctly identified for no good reason.
