U guys have zero clue what ur talking about..."army of mercenaries"...nobody fights for free slapper. One Division to keep stability in the Middle East.....not to bad.
HH6, we've already established that the job of the American military is to protect the integrity of the American terrritory, which means to make sure the borders stay intact. Launching a full-out, pseudo-colonial assault on Iraq or Iran is the job of a mercenary army. The army is not doing anything in Iraq to protect our borders, so we can only conclude that the army is serving someone else's purpose. Hence "mercenary army".
And do me a favor, stop with the "you people don't understand" bullshit. We do, we actually know what a war is and we haven't been in one. That's why we're trying to prevent people like your son and my son from going into one.
