We have people starving, homeless, and without healthcare. Why are we fighting a war in a country of people that have been killing each other for years. Seems to me our troops should be here fighting the battle to control drugs, criminals, illegal immigration, and corruption of the government. I think we would all be prouder of them if they were fighting to make the Uninted States a better place

Why is it the military's job to feed the homeless and use healthcare for the people without when we cant even take care of our brave soldiers/seamen/airmen properly.
Besides:
The Posse Comitatus Act is a United States federal law (18 U.S.C. § 1385) passed on June 16, 1878 after the end of Reconstruction. The Act was intended to prohibit Federal troops from supervising elections in former Confederate states. It generally prohibits Federal military personnel and units of the United States National Guard under Federal authority from acting in a law enforcement capacity within the United States, except where expressly authorized by the Constitution or Congress. The Posse Comitatus Act and the Insurrection Act substantially limit the powers of the Federal government to use the military for law enforcement.

as much as i would like that...we can't pull out of Iraq...if we pulled all of the troops out now, then there would be more problems than we started....it is not the military's job to feed the homeless and fix the corrupt healthcare system, it is the governments...

I agree that we should pull out of Iraq and the military should focus on something other then Iraq at least something with a cause instead of babysitting-- I have talked to many military members who are serving 3rd deployment who agree) however it isnt the military's job to do clean up work in the USA that is the governments job and if you want those issues handled you do something and vote

So you are basically saying one of two things:
1) You want our troops at home to promote martial law.
2) Somehow, the war and starvation, homelessness, and lack of healthcare are related. Uhh huhhhhh...

Well, Iraq housed the people who knocked down our towers and killed our people, so I think it's just.
