Schubert, if you're not proud for your service in 'nam, I share with you your thoughts and absolutely not proud what we do now in the Mid East since WTC collapse. My hippie spirit is with the rest of protesters.
An army is to defend us civilian dwellers against hostile invasions and not at all mechanizm to invade for private interests hiding behind the mask of humanity and democracy. I really do not care what kind of government is in Iraq, Iran, Afgan, Syria, Cuba. I don't even care how they treat their own children or women, because it's their country and it's their government and not really willing to invest my tax dollar onto bringing 'democracy' using US Armed Forces.
