Our society's values might be out of whack, but this is a poor example of it, and you seem to be making a few mistakes here.

First, I think you're exaggerating the outrage here. I've barely seen this mentioned anywhere. Also, I think you're overestimating the impact "being trained to kill" has on a person. The majority of Marines have never seen combat, and the vast majority have never killed someone. This isn't RECON, Delta, or Ranger school we are talking about. Many of these guys were "trained to kill" the same way I was. They definitely know better than to share naked photos of fellow marines with eachother. This isn't some gray area of morality we are talking about, and it is bizarre that you would question the idea that consent is even needed to share photos like that, but either way there is no correlation between being trained to kill and not knowing better than to share naked photos of fellow marines without their consent, as many others have said in here. It's really just a bizarre argument from your perspective, even if one agreed that our society's values are out of whack.

For instance they were never taught that Columbus was a slave owner.

This was a story all over the news yesterday. There was plenty of outrage over it. If you are able to justify killing people as just part of the job you don't think it affects other areas of judgement?

I don't know what the law says about sharing photos because as I've mentioned before how do websites such as 4Chan and Reddit exist. And if people are sharing photos and there are likely millions of them, what is the punishment? Should we put them in jail?

I'm a big dumb shitlib baby

It wasn't "all over the news". I follow quite a bit of news, this was hardly "first page" material. Just another minor item in a 24 hour cycle that won't be remembered next week. It probably didn't even hit the 3 level on a 1-10 outrage meter.



You keep saying this, and it doesn't make your logic sound any less bizarre. First, as I already mentioned, theres a good chance none of the marines involved ever killed someone, eliminating the entire question altogether. But to answer your question, no. I was trained to kill. I had poor judgement before that training and still have some of that poor judgment. It didn't positively or negatively affect my ability to make judgment calls in other areas of life. I would imagine the same would go for these Marines.
