Anyone who seriously looks at history would agree that yes, every wartime military has a war crimes problem. No exceptions.
But anyone who seriously looks at history must also admit that American veterans have committed the vast majority of war crimes since the end of WWII. We have invaded over 70 countries and killed millions of innocents. No other country even comes close.
Listen, not all nazi soldiers were particularly bad. I’m sure a chef in the rear guard probably did not do a single war crime. But when the SS existed we know that the chef isn’t what most people refer to when discussing war crimes of the era.
Its the same in this era. Sure, there are bad guys all over the place, but compare to the US there’s really only a handful of entities in the post WWII era that could be equals, and none more evil.
Yes, only American military veterans did bad things.
Didn’t check the instance I was on. My bad. I’ll let y’all get back to it.
not only usian veterans, but predominantly them.
This is offtopic, but is there any reason for using a word derived from USA instead of saying veterans from the USA? Usian sounds wrong
because calling them “american” implies the USA is the entire continent. i cant really call myself an american, even though i am.
they stole the word to mean “them” like the rest of the continent doesnt matter.
also in my country we call it “estadunidense”, which roughly translates to “usian”.
Interesting. In Canada we just refer to the country as US, but to its denizens as Americans.
American is obviously a way worse name. I was suggesting using “someone from the USA”, but usian also makes sense considering the context
yeah, i usually say “people from the us” but i miss having a single word for it, like “danish” or “chinese”
