Please provide cited evidence for your claim.

Also - Iraq is no longer a war and Libya is not a war.

Are racist comments really necessary?

Personally, I think it is disgusting. We are putting our boy's lives on the line for a President who keeps sticking his nose where it does not belong. I wonder if he would be so eager to go to war if he had 2 boys in the military. It's always the U.S. sticking out for other countries. It is about time we take care of business at home and get the service men and women home from the 2 other wars that are going on.

The people who join have control.
Don't join the military.

Why? Is that why we do it?
What gives us the right to demand respect for actions 65 years ago?
This was a generation ago.

Our acts since then have pretty much negated any good will around the world.

If the US were attacked, I do believe there would be offers of help.
Until then, yo have no point.

Did you oppose American action against Nazi Germany, Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, Somalia, Rawanda, Balkins?

Do you support attacking Bahrain,Yemen,Syria,Ivory Coast,the current government in Iraq,Iran,several of the 'stans',etc,etc?

Now you know how we all felt back in 2003. It's a *****, ain't it?

Looks like you missed Bush and the wars he started.
Did Bush mind going to war?

People join the military of their own volition.
No one is forcing them.
I don't feel sorry for them; they joined during war time.

Maybe some assistance for a fledgling democracy in Libya will go a long ways towards sending a strong message to the other Despots around the world.

The world is watching and is now willing to step in to depose you as it sees fit.
