1. While I disagree with about half of what this gentleman has so eloquently said...
...I appreciate the point he's trying to make. As a father, and a 17-year Navy Vet, I'm quite certain I'd offer the same advice to my children. :patriot:

3. In recent years the military has served the purposes of...
egotistical leaders and multinational corporations.

On the other hand, I feel we need a military force in this world. We have to find a way to insure that the people we elect use our military ONLY when necessary to defend our country from attack.

We should also avoid the belief that we are the police force of the world. We would be wise to realize that while our form of government was worked relatively well in our country, we don't have to force it on other countries.
