I have no respect for soldiers

I have no respect for soldiers. Furthermore, I despise them. How is it even possible that people call them heroes?! Calling soldier a hero is spitting firefighters, doctors and other real heroes in their faces. How can be someone who kills other people considered a hero? Can you imagine? Some fucker killed your whole family because someone told him to (or just why not, coz he can), and he is called a hero in his home country. They get rewarded. For killing people.

Soldiers often get PTSD when they return home. They lose their families, mental health, are left without a job, health care, or even homeless. They get fucked by their own country. And I think they get what they deserve for killing others.

Being a soldier is nothing to be proud of. It's humiliating. I know someone has to defend the country when there is need to. If soldiers were only to defend, not to attack, AND only volounteers would work as soldiers. Then I would rethink calling them heroes.

But for now? I have zero respect for all soldiers.

I'm not sure if you get my point, so I'm gonna paste quote, whose author is afaik Albert Einstein.

"He who joyfully marches to music rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, deplorable love-of-country stance and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder."

I didn't think I have to say it. I'm not talking only about US. It isn't the only country in the world. I meant all of the countries.

Sorry for not responding, but there are over one hundred comments so far, and I don't wanna waste my time arguing with everyone. When I feel like there is a need to, I'm gonna do yet another edit.
