Many Americans sign up for the military to try to make the US than the world a better place.
For most, the occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan is not what they agree with.
However, you can't just leave the military because you have different views than those in charge.
I don't see how anyone can call US soldiers cowards.
They do their jobs in a dangerous volatile place where thousands if not millions want them dead.
Have you noticed that the "WARS" the US have participated in are never fought on US soil.
And whenever terrorist attack (Pearl Harbour / 911) whole cities are reduced to ruble.
Also, have you noticed that the US is always at the heart of relief efforts in the events of disaster. (minus NO)
I love the US and I'm Canadian.
The US should be FEARED and RESPECTED.
The people who don't fall under those 2 categories are just plain stupid.
