That reads almost word for word like a nazi propaganda poster.
Quote
The American government, having recruited people that are patriotic, practical, and brave, and who have civilian families, and having reinforced those values throughout the training process
Replace America with Germania and I swear to god, there was a nazi recruitment poster I read that had almost these exact words on it.
He doesn't cite sources, he doesn't use numbers, he just makes bad appeals to patriotism and says "Hey, we're America, other militaries might do something horrible but we sure won't cause our military is BETTER THAN THEM! MURICA!"

The irony is that even history remembers his claim being false. Remember that day in 1861 when more than half the US military decided that black people were subhuman and they would, against lawful orders, defect to a group of treasonous racist slavers?
The irony here is that I'm sure most of the defectors thought they were actively defending their families. And I guess they were - its just that their families were the slaveholders in question, and the ones actively benefiting from the atrocity in question.
And lets not get into the US military's treatment of Native Americans. As long as they ain't white I guess it doesn't count, eh?
