I have respect for the military, just not the stupid ass leaders that jump to the aid of every goddamn democratic country that gets threatened by communism.

America may be a superpower, but it's not a superhero. I agree with Jacob/Lee.Lol that rhymed.
In my opinion, they're really just there. Like roosterroaches.

i just wish america didn't jump in to help everyone.

If that were true we would be in Syria, the Congo, Mexico, ect.

I respect the soldiers but I despise the generals and executive powers that give the orders. They should be trying to make societal changes that would render the military obsolete. The fact of the matter is, we are not born evil and very few things are actually genetically determined. Our environment is responsible for our behavior and thus the structure of our genome itself. The sad thing is, we have created a society where maleviont behavior is sometimes carried out.

it was an illegal immigration joke?

sorry i can't pander to your bland sense of humor

They die for other's freedom. However, they need to stop picking fights with whoever the forget they want too. Vietnam made sense, as South Vietnam didn't stand a chance (and now SV does not exist), however, the generals were dumbasses. The USA probably could have won if we had stopped richarding around.
Afghanistan... how the forget will the USA win? Why did we go in there? The guys on top are always the issue, not the grunts getting shot at.
They did exactly what they were told to do. Besides, we left south Vietnam with a massive army, and when the Vietcong came south Vietnam dropped their guns and ran. America didn't lose the war South Vietnam did.

What are you talking about? They're the force that unbalanced the stalemate in WWI

I'm unsure about where all the money in the military budget goes specifically, but I know that our military budget is at least five times of the next highest, which is China. Since the invasion of our country is highly unlikely I think we should reduce the size of our standing army and sell more excess arms to friendly democratic countries.
We're already being invaded by China. No maybe not with the military, with product.

If some mexicans want to live in America, let them loving live here. Hell, let the whole country live here.

What makes them lower than us? What happened to "All men are created Equal", huh? How can you generalize hundreds of thousands of people into some stuff sack category?
