2,271,475 people in the military... ALL SOLDIERS... So... how many of the are war criminals...

I am talking percentages...

YES...there are some soldiers that are bad apples... but per capita, most violent crime is by civilians.

Ironically enough, you don't hear about soldiers killing their autistic children very often...

My point is, stating that soldiers is blood thirsty is an ignorant blanket statement.

Bin Laden is considered a war criminal, but is not a soldier
