Understandable if you guys were making a safer world by beating the shyt out of North Korea(Which is a pathetic diplomatic posture). That is a noble cause. This maneuver has made the USA look weak(Pick on the weaker and totally avoid the guy that has the muscle.) by side stepping North Korea.
Soldiers dying in a third world country proven incapable of hurting the USA??? We all know it's all for the oil now. The excuses have run out. If you call that a noble cause, Well I guess we better add sheep to it's definition.
And yes. The majority of your military are burger flippers and getto kids using another avenue towards personal advancement.
Without the draft, the illiterate is the next best scource.
How can you sit there and use the word "PATRIOTISM" when there is a clear division in your country?

Didnt Saddam invade a "weaker" Kuwait? Maybe Canadian TV censored the mass graves and interviews with Iraqi families who have had their fathers "disappear" because they said something against Saddam? Miss the gas attacks against the Kurds? Maybe it is easy to turn a blind eye to what does not directly affect you. A lot of other people obviously dont see it your way. The US is the "big brother" of the world and you benefit from it.
The blood for oil theory is a bunch of hippie liberal crap. I am sure some freaks criticized FDR back in the day. They just didnt have the balls to say it in public. Sometimes unpopular things have to be done for the better good.
Enjoy life in your bubble...crack a Molsons and fire up some BC bud.
