    Yeah. I was thinking for the UK it’s highly unlikely a cop has killed someone here. We do follow America into war and I’ve got a few soldier friends who likely killed people, but our soldiers seem to talk about it less than American ones.

      Same with America. Despite TV/Movie Copaganda, most cops go their entire careers without pulling their weapons, and certainly without firing it.

      The most likely American citizen to have killed is a military member.

      smh, your soldiers don’t want to write books about how terrible warmongering made them feel so they can get that movie deal?

          He’s mocking the typical route of a soldier with a story: a memoir or fictionalized tale of what they did, with the hope the book sells enough to get them a chunk of money or a movie studio makes a movie of it.

            Ah thanks. Now you explained it, it makes sense but before I couldn’t tell if he was having a go at the UK or not, to be clear people are justified to shit on my countries foreign policy.

            American sniper vibes I guess.

          “USian soldiers will invade your country, and then ten years later will write a book and make a movie about how traumatized they were by the war.”
