why in usa veterans are regarded as heroes instead of villians?

it's not like they fought for freedom. invading other countries for oil spreading death hate and misery throughout the world and still highly regarded by society? in developed and civilised countries the military doesn't have that reputation quite the contrary. police forces do. they defend the country. military doesn't

Hold up a minute.

They did their job, went where they were assigned to go... Putting their own lives at danger/risk.. Not knowing if they are going to make it home alive or in one piece..

I stress out at the thought of going on public transport..
@AbsolutelyFabulous that's typically a war crime. Are they too illiterate to know?

@AbsolutelyFabulous no one was forced to go into the military and commit serious crimes.

@SpudMuffin it was hitler that declared war on usa. if it wasn't for that usa wouldn't even had joined the allies. usa was just profiting big time from the war.

the US even allowed its companies to sell and ship goods, including materials for military production and oil, to Germany before and after US entry into the war, with shipments sometimes continuing via neutral flags even after 1941. Major American companies like Ford and General Motors had German subsidiaries (like Opel) that produced military equipment for the Nazi war effort, with Ford's factories in Germany using forced and slave labor.

@SpudMuffin Spud, recent history. On WW2, Churchill was correct. Zero disagreement with your first paragraph.

@Adogslife where's the weapons of mass destruction that made usa invade iraq for a second time?
Which countries do you count as developed and civilised?

The U S and A hasn't been the good guys in a war since 1945.

@hunkalove dropped 2 atom bombs on japan and were considering a 3rd. committed tons of atrocities and war crimes and tortured civilians in ww2. how nice is that?

@dpoet We were attacked. Since 1945 we've done the attacking.
The population swallows anything at all.

@sstronaut what makes them heroes? killing babies?
@dpoet Well, they sadly didn't kill you, so I guess they got some improvement left needed
