The hundreds of thousands of men and women in the US military are not independents, they're just mere and very willing cogs in the machine. If you've been around as long as I have [which you clearly have not] then you would know that at all levels of the US military, there are two things:
1) A constant and pervasive lack of concern for innocents killed either deliberately or mistakenly. Starting from WW2 and onwards, its been documented beyond denial, to the point where terms like "collateral damage" are now standard.
2) The US military, in its training methods, routinely dehumanizes the enemy society by use of vulgar or sexual slang, and racist slurs to refer to the same. This is done to remove any inhibitions of killing the "enemy" who are human just as they are. Instead, their inhibitions are rebuilt from the ground up to simply follow their superiors' orders.
Thanks for trying anyways, and have a nice day.
