The problem does not lay with the armies, but the policy makers who send them into countries for all of the wrong reasons. Our army is the best in the world, which is why we are the only super-power left in the world. Our success and failure should ultimately rest with the president. Look at the Balkin war! We led a very successful military campaign in Kosovo, and while things may not be perfect there today, they certainly are not worse.

Never blame the soldier. He only does as he is told it's the sleazy sick twisted pieces of trash that send him that is at fault. The army did quit well in rehabbing Europe and japan and to some extant south korea. This army is second to none. The problem is armies have never figured out how to take down an insurgency that is supported by the local population.

Our army are some of the best trained people in the world. Granted there are a few bad apples everywhere. It is the people behind what they do in the politics that make things worse.

The United States Army is the most devestatingly powerful force this planet has ever seen. What makes them look bad or makes the situation seem worse is politicans, who send our boys into war zones, never once having seen military combat themselves and not allowing them to do their jobs. These are not "International Policemen". They are trained fighting soldiers and by putting a leash on them is what gets them killed and does not resolve the situation. I guarentee you that if the politicans butted out and let the military personnel do what it was intended to do, the situation in Afghanastan & iraq would already be resolved and Bin Laden and teh Al Qeda network would have been obliterated withing a year of 9/11.

Not really the armies fault. The responsibilities lie with the people that run the U.S. and the commanders of the army, not the actual army itself.

Look at the Brits. As I mentioned before, India was the richest country in the world until the British got there.

Let's see, where to start.
1. Dictator out of power.
2. Two elections.
3. Constitution, that will give everyone in Iraq rights, being written.
4. No more Saddam rape and torture rooms.

Is that enough. Just because two Islamic sects that have been fighting for centuries want to continue to fight, the US military cannot control that. You don't have to like my country, but when the world is a safer place because of us, we do expect a "thank you".

Remember: The purpose of an army is to break things and kill people. When properly used, these means have brought freedom to the U.S., liberated most of Europe from evil dictators, and are now in the process of liberating Iraq and Afganistan from evil regimes.

If USA trully want all the countries in this world living in peace they would never put their military army in other countries.....because a lot of those armies become criminals outside of USA....raping, killing, and burnt the houses....like what happened in Iraq, Afghanistan, Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo etc...

useless....wasting money....the government should have trained its army some morals first before trained them how to shoot people and bombing otehr countries..

just a thought :)

You seem to overlook the overpowering politics which seem to enter into the responses. This was most evident in Viet Nam and to a great extent in Iraq... When politicos actually abet and aid the enemy (by giving them slogans they can use to gather more recruits) is it any wonder things can go wrong. Proven in Viet Nam and almost being accomplished in Iraq.
