Many disagree with the military, but, how long do you think we would stand as a nation without them? I trust a military person before a politician any day. At least when they are into politics after serving their country, they are for the country, not their pockets. Some of our best Presidents have been in the Military. George Washington for starters, Roosevelt, Kennedy, Ike, are just to name a few. Instead of worrying about what they do, think of what happens without their experence.

Yes...and it's frightening to know that these businesses are benefitting from the deaths of our troops...just to make their bottomlines look good.
If it were up to me, the whole lot of them would stand trial before a US military tribunal for war crimes!
