    The raping is few and far between. I never even heard a rumor of it during the height of the Tet offensive in Vietnam. Can't recall hearing of it in Iraq or Afghanistan.
    Pillaging is something I never heard of during active combat nor since.
    Murdering I have heard of although it is by bad apples that are left to their own devices an error the military often makes but it is never done to steal resources.
    Conclusion, going to have to disagree with you to some degree or other on all points.
    I suggest you either witness war first hand or have some pretty strong evidence before making such baseless claims. I do not suggest witnessing war first hands for other reasons. Someone once said war is hell and they were right.

    I wasn’t referring to soldiers when I said rape and pillage. I respect anyone who serves because I think they have good intentions, despite whatever narrative the government is spouting, and they are making a huge sacrifice. I was referring to our country as a whole, and the military industrial complex decimating other countries, collapsing governments and stealing resources at the cost of human life.

    Lol. The government does nothing but lie. If they had evidence they would present it. They don’t, so they can’t. We’re talking about the same entity that’s lied us into every war since 1945

    this shows how little you understand about top secret classifications...and burying evidence....see the Senate stonewalling Congress over the impeachment trials and withholding evidence to the extent of not honoring subpoenas or delivering evidence requested under judicial law. Right now Pompeo is in trouble over just that. They seal some evidence under national security concerns then it gets unwrapped decades later. Sure they lie to you but they also bury shit and hide it from public view....in Vietnam they lied about body counts to make the public think we were winning. The current govt is the least transparent I've seen in my adult life.

    Body counts were top secret and I witnessed it personally. I even know the classification.
