Just a few questions if you don't mind?

Why are half our tax dollars spent on maintaining the most sophisticated military force that has ever existed when we are so reluctant to put it to good use?

Why do people protest about putting lives on the line so much? Did not your sons and daughters make a conscious decision when they signed on about the risks they might have to face?

Why is the US gov so full of people who haven't been paying attention to what is actually going on?

I don't want the US as a police officer to the world. It does a horrible job on its own territory. However, is it unreasonable to suggest that the US take care of the people it is exploiting?

We are at a crisis point. To continue our "civilization" as it is now will quite probably lead to extreme catastrophe in the one or two hundred years. If you really cared about "your sons and duaghters", there are far more serious threats to their wellbeing ( not to mention that of their sons and daughter, etc) than asking them to protect human lives(even if they aren't american) from violent aggression.

Perhaps one day you will wake up and consciously consider how your actions interrelate with the rest of the world.
