Who exactly are these people commenting on Amash's Facebook?

I posted this in another thread, and it basically sums up my view on our military and the situation in Afghanistan.

The only full fledged war that we're currently involved in is the war in Afghanistan, and that was a war that was started as a result of a terrorist attack in which 3,000 American citizens were killed. My view is that the original mission in Afghanistan was to kill those responsible for attacking us on 9-11, and I believe we've already accomplished that mission. The war in Afghanistan has basically turned into an expensive nation building mission that has nothing to do with our national security. So, I favor withdrawing from Afghanistan immediately. But, while nation building is a bad idea and has nothing to do with our own national security, there's nothing immoral about it. There's nothing immoral about what members of our military are doing there. It's just immoral for our leaders in Congress to put our troops in harms way to perform a mission that has nothing to do with our national security.
 
I don't believe that our military intentionally kills innocent people.

...they just invade entire countries that pose no threat to the Security of the United States, and accidentally, oops, they end up killing thousands of them. But that's not intentional. lol.

And I do put blame on Congress and the top guys. But the fact the Cheney is more guilty than the other killers doesn't make the other killers innocent, let alone deserving of praise.
 
So Ron Paul, Traditional Conservative, and I support the troops without supporting foreign wars while others think that disrespecting our troops is fine. I abhor any disrespect to people who put their lives on the line for our freedom: be it our soldiers or our police, cops, and sheriffs. I have friends and neighbors who are soldiers, sheriffs, sons of cops...and I truly have a deep respect as I think all people should.

Our leaders in Congress and the President are responsible for invading countries that pose no threat to our national security.

Most of the innocent people who were killed in Iraq were killed by terrorists who strapped suicide bombs on themselves in crowded markets.

I completely agree. Don't blame our troops...blame the leaders who sent them there.

You like cops?

You keep referring to them as killers, I would argue that most are self-defenders...defending our nation against terrorist. I don't agree with the wars, but neither do I agree with disrespecting out troops for just doing the job they were assigned to do. How long would you last in your job if you refused to work???
 
I see. If A pays B to kill C, and B kills C, A is guilty but B is innocent and deserves praise for his heroic actions.

There's a good number of our troops who opposed the war in Iraq and even spoke out against it while serving. These were people who signed up to join the military to serve their country. They then were forced into fighting a war that they didn't support. Like I said, the blame should be leveled at the people in Congress who vote to use our military for offensive wars.
 
Yes, I proudly support the job they do in putting murderers and thieves in jail. I don't agree with everything they do, but I respect them as human beings!

Some people here actually prefer murderers and thieves over cops.

Once again, Trad.C. Has given a great paragraph explanation while opponents give 1-2 sentence arguments. And Ron, Rand, and Justin are on our side. Oh, and Karen K. Agrees that we should respect our troops.
 
Would you support me if my hypothetically speaking gang told me to go over to your parents house and kill them. All because we wanted something you had or because they were not following our rules, even though it was your parents property by law and right?

What are you even talking about? We are talking about cops and the good work they do. You are talking about civilians murdering and stealing...I hope you're not promoting criminal activity.

No I am not, I was not talking about cops. Quoted the wrong post of his. But I will ask you;
