When I read this article I learned that the way our soldiers are treated is horrendous. They go their giving their lives for our country and for its freedom of its people or so they thought. Turns out that when they go over there they don’t only have to be scared of the enemies and the loss of their lives, they are afraid that if they make a mistake they will be charged for a crime and sentenced in prison. This is so wrong. This is called the ROE or the rules of engagement. There should be no rules in how they fight. As long as they do it with a conscience and do what they think is right. If they feel threatened in any way they should be able to defend themselves and not get charged for murder for it. When they are sentenced for their “crime” they aren’t testified by our people but by the enemies. What a perfect opportunity we give the enemies to take our people down!
Because of all this it is causing our soldiers PTSD and to take their lives. They are in fear of doing anything wrong. So many innocent soldiers that survived are questioned and interrogated to make sure they did everything the “right” way. They are scared and I don’t blame them. There should be no murder charges in war because its war and people are going to die.
I believe that citizenship is our duty. If there is something wrong in our government I believe that it’s our right to fight against it and make the changes that need to be changed.
