the US military has a documented history of psyops and actions against its own. In addition to war crimes. Like all other nations, sure!!

Sure you can describe the US in relation to other militaries, but you cannot, in good faith, make the claim that it is right, honorable, or even efficient.

What are you exactly asking? This is starting to seem like troll baiting. Since I'm in the discussion, it's a little harder to just give you a break, but I am warning you. If you were speaking to someone else, you'd be out for a couple of days.

Edit: It's happening to others as well, I'm going to give you a few days break.

He said nothing about "right, honorable or efficient." He said we have a huge military/spy complex, and that gives soft and hard power as a nation. Hes right.

Some greasy idiot with a loaded shotgun walking into a grocery store also gains a lot of hard and soft power about his grocery store experience. It might be imbecilic power that has consequences, but its power.

So, no answer will be good enough for you.
