There is nothing wrong with having a military to defend your country.
There is something wrong with wars that are not in defense of your country.
There is something wrong with using religion, race and patriotism to sell war.
I don't blame the soldiers, I blame the war profiteers. The fact that these soldiers are in this predicament is indictative of both a lack of opportunity and education. The onus is on our culture and the public education system.
I believe that rather than subsidizing multibillion dollar weapons systems that the money should be used to take care of our soldiers especially the wounded ones.
You should be less worried about make believe enemies and more concerned with the fact that this nonsense has bankrupted the country and red china holds enough dollars to effectively control our economy as a result of both this war nonsense, walmart and globalization.
You don't even know who the enemy is.
