Care to elaborate?

US soldiers fight in less dangerous zones, with more air support and more armor than anyone else.

As an example:

>muh post traumuttic stress disorder

US soldiers fight in better conditions than euro soldiers.

Thanks, I'll check it out.

There's nothing wrong with Americans being a bit more sensitive than others

People who join the military here are pussies who wanna come out of their service as mysterious, badass broken husks. Being traumatized adds to the allure.

American soldiers can get fucked

it's all the estrogen in their water

Don't get me wrong guys, I think US military is great, just curious about the difference in mental health since perhaps it reflects on the average Americans mental health

Canadian soldiers were pretty much all in Kandahar which had the heaviest fighting and largest taliban presence of any sector. I wonder how our soldiers are doing compared to Americans

Fact: USA has state enforced homosexuality

You're trying to imply quite the opposite, Nigel, likely out of some misplaced jealousy or hate.

The US has constantly been unable to properly garrison low-intensity areas. That's where you come in.

I mean really. What sense does it make to put a foreign army at the head of your actions, where the fighting is thickest?

Literally to get better VA benefits.

“While it is difficult to compare rates between nations, a consistent finding of the last 20 years is that reported mental health problems tend to be higher among service personnel and veterans of the USA compared with the UK, Canada, Germany and Denmark,” wrote study author Dr. Deirdre MacManus.

Shut the fuck up

several people have told me the brit army has bigger turds than the us army

northern chavs being worse than rednecks

you LARPing spics will never be american

The military is filled with subhumans - especially the bullet sponges.

She left him and he later died in an accident.

This. I had once the dubious pleasure of spending a few hours with out "missionaries", ie. career soldiers who spent tours in Iraq or Afghanistan. A bunch of sociopaths who relished at seeing someone else's misfortunes.
