I think we should consider the oppisite approach to the whole situation, we pull every last American military person back to the states, all the forward-deployed ships... back here, troops in "Allied" countries... back here, all of em, let the rest of the world fend for itself. It would take a revamping of how we p!ss away energy and gas, but otherwise we can easily sustain ourselves. I'm tired of listening to the little babies who cry about how we shouldn't be bombing, they shouldn't have run a f*cking airplane into a skyscraper... twice... we should be helping the refugees... F*ck them too, if it's not my responsibility to police the third world, it's sure as hell not my responsibility to feed it.
Every time one of those little, crappy countries wants help, we send it, getting your @ss kicked by the sh!thead nation to the north? Call the US, they'll come and fight your war for you. Earthquake? US will send you aid, money, and bulldozers to dig your @ss out. Your entire communist government collapse in a heap of suddenly-post-war rubble? Borrow $5,000,000,000 from the US, pay it back, nah don't worry about it, you can owe us until the end of time....
We always help, f*cking always, and I'm tired of hearing how messed up the government is for defending this nation.
I spent 10 years in the military, I got shot in the Gulf, I got shot at in Somalia, and now I see these college babies who are getting educations paid for by daddy cry about how war is unfair. Well guess what chump, life isn't fair either, no matter what you try to make it.
I tell ya something else, I can't imagine how the people coming back from Vietnam felt, the sh!t they must have gone through over there, and then to come back to the BS from the college babies and peace freaks, I don't know why more of them didn't/don't go over the edge and start wacking people!
I feel better now, had to vent, but damn it, this pisses me off.
The people who live across the street from my parents actually are planning on moving to Canada now since the war is going, they don't want their 18 yo son to go in the Army. What the f*ck? I did time, there's no draft, they didn't mind sending their 3 kids to school on the taxes I had to pay while I was in the service, not even living in my home state, not getting any say in the new taxes these clowns had the nerve to ask for to pay for the same schools. I went to these schools, I got a crap education, I had to take so many basic classes to get to the college level it was pathetic.
Had to vent more....
But if that doesn't strike you as a mess of crap, then I propose you either re-think your citizenship status (as in get out of here, we don't need you working against the people who know what freedom is and are willing to fight for it.)
OK, I think I'm done now. Sorry about the vent, but, well, it's annoying reading posts from people who are clueless.
