    Despite the moral flaws of American military, many US soldiers will feel bad about invading a clearly peaceful and democratic country.

    US troops arent even bothered about invading their own cities and killing people on home soil… what makes you think they would think twice about invading and killing foreigners?

      They happily murdered Iraqi civilians in the streets for years. The guy who shot Renee Good is a former US soldier in Iraq. I don’t think the US military is actually full of courageous individuals who will take a stand against illegal orders based on a rock solid morality.
