Originally posted by Swazo:M. Moore brought up a good point about "sending your own kids off to die in Iraq". If anyone in the upper class had to consider that they may be sending their own kids to die, they may not be so quick to send them in harms way. We aren't the world's police, nor should our military be treated as such. Yes I served in the military, so I'm speaking from my point of view. Look at what class of Americans are in the overall population of US military that are in Iraq and Afganistan.
No one is sending anyone kids to die! Our military is 100% voluntary.
Class has nothing to do with it.

So does that mean they should be used for a political agenda? That's all this is. Regan esentially put Bin Laden into the position he is today, he placed US SF to train them to fight the Soviets....a world power. Now that threat is gone, the monster they created is now running wild.
The same can be said about Iraq when fighting Iran.
The ends do not justify the means. The nightly news is proof enough. Yes, our military is 100% voluntary. That doesn;t give our politicians the right to wield them like white out, to cover their f^%& ups.
