Marines are called worse than murderers quite ofen, because as you said, they are sent instead of the army corps, to accomplish a task.
But war as a whole still drags on.
Agreed.
When(more than if) I critizise the U.S. military, it becomes from the fact that you operate where locals don't want you, you are not on your own soil. And that U.S. troops cannot be taken to trial like any other soldier from any other nation.
My view is that your troops have no right to have such a shield. -But, I also understand the reasons for the shield.

Thanks for the lucid response.
You are right, normally, when we do operate, it is not on our own soil, just like any other first world military. Just like other first world nations, we have a (mostly) competent civilian police force that is able to provide law enforcement, so there is no need for our military to keep the peace at home.
My country was smart enough to realize we could prosecute our own war criminals well enough, and didn't need to sign that sham of a UN proposed abortion.
