I have nothing but respect for those who quietly serve acting silently yet critically in defense of their country (whatever country that may be FYI)

Thats the problem i have with the US military, when was the last time the US defended itself? Bombing water treatment facilities in Iraq is not self-defense.

Its on a permanent war economy and as soon as enemy du jour #1 is down, another is picked to take its place. Thats my main gripe, if the US was getting attacked and foreign tanks were in US streets, id probably head down there and help you guys fight. But i cant think of a US war i could support since WW2.

I might...MIGHT, add somalia to that honestly. Though not an act of self defense it was an act of debatable (and ill informed) honest aid and help. But that soon went to shit in a handbasket, nor was it profitable enough.

It does beg the question of Sierra Leone, the Congo, and several other places that could actually HONESTLY use a hand that have been not only neglected but actively buried, burned and forgotten by the majority of the Public and Press in the western world.
