It is shameful to be so conceded about America. We have some major ugly spots on our body politic and our battered history. WWII is not the history of the United States, the good or bad of it.
Vietnam is the longest war we ever fought, and it was absolutely a disaster for the US and Southeast Asia. However, The Iraq War may be topping Vietnam as a man made hurricane that sets the record for human suffering in warfare.
We do not know yet what the long term fallout is going to be for our adventure in spreading democracy by the sword.
Will the Middle East continue arming so they can someday fight it out for real? Well the United States be so humiliated that it destroys our leadership ability in the world? Well the Arab people rise up and attack Israel head on with cataclysmic results. Well Russia or China be involved in the war eventually? Well the United States be bankrupted?
There are many questions that only history will answer, and it seems that fate will call the shots from here on out, including the draft!

The people who hate the military simply hate it. They don't think it's "fair" that we are so powerful when so many others are weak. Yet, we do not use our might to take over other countries. All we do is try to make people free to make their own choices.
Why anyone is against that is beyond me.
