The big issue I have with your statements, and those of the OP are that they are extremist.

Of course they're "extremist." Putting the lives of Afghans and Iraqis on the same level as Americans is an extreme position. That's just the world we live in. But just because it's "extreme" relative to generally accepted discourse in the West doesn't make it any less correct.

Not every cop has shot an innocent person. But people still have no problem saying All Cops Are Bastards. Because even those who aren't directly involved support and cover for those who do. Likewise, not a single troop at Abu Ghraib blew the whistle on what was happening there. If you're fine with ACAB, you should also be fine with ATAB, and the only reason I can see why someone wouldn't is that they value the cops' victims more than those of the troops.

No I absolutely do have a problem with the 'All' part. Don't presume that everyone agrees with that rhetoric.
