Military servicemen & women

I think that military people in any country ar as good and as bad as in every other profession or job. I don´t expect more of them than what I would expect of other people. I do feel a little afraid of them and of their choices as I don´t understnd that there´s any valid reason to kill another human being.

I think people should behave and conduct themselves in the right manner, military or non-military although I think officers carry a bigger burden because of the punitive articles ( I think both the U.S. and the Philippines have this as well as other countries), that is " conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman "

Yep, I expect them to be like that. I think that's included in their oath, right? They have to swear to the country before they provide their service.

I am going to respond to this in a few ways. First so you know I am former military in the U.S for 11 years. I will say those of us that serve feel the same way as far as some people shouldn't be serving. Some have absolutely no respect for anything and will never learn respect. Now you asked if we expect them to be respectful, loyal, honest, and proud of what they do. I will say respectful to an extent yes but not unconditional respect. Loyal most definitely, if you are not loyal you are not worth anything. Honesty yes I do expect it, there is no reason to lie about anything. Proud of what they do, not really a big important factor from me. As a former soldier, I was never proud of being in battles and bullying others into our belief structure. I will never say I was proud to be a part of the military, neither will I say that I regret it. As far as pride in it goes though you got to think would you truly be proud to be the one that had to pull a trigger would you be proud if you had to shoot down a little kid because they were brainwashed by parents to do what they wanted including kill soldiers? If you ever meet a soldier and they say they are proud I would worry about them for that reason. and to finalize this comment for you, at times I am sure some people saw me as being disrespectful especially on the return home from deployments. They put on these big shows and its all "for the troops", well no it isnt if it was truly for the troops they would leave them alone, let them get to their families, and not parade them around like they are a bunch of toy soldiers that they play with. I also hated whenever people came up to me asking me about it and hounding me about my service, I don't wanna talk about it nonstop it has never been my life it was a job I did and nothing more, So I see if you see some disrespect and it is in that form then it is totally understandable.
