anyone that says that they arent protecting us is just a dumb fuck. The simple fact that we have such a powerful millitary keeps us from being shit on. Secondly, you seem to forget what happened ten years ago and the main reason that we went into afghanistan in the first place. I can understand disagreeing with the war in iraq but come on an argument against overthrowing osama is just ridiculous. What do you think we should do? just sit back and let them continue to organize terrorist attacks on our soil? How do you think the US economy would be doing if everyone was scared to work in any big city in fear of the terrorist attacks that would have happened all the time? Do you not think that some of the other superpowers of the world would not be more aggressive if we did not hold the strategic positions across the globe that we currently hold?
If nothing else, support our troops as people. Realize that 99% of the work that they do is completely humanitarian and only 1% is actually killing. Unless you have been to Iraq/Afghanistan and seen the before/after of what is going on over there, then you are ignorant by saying that all what they are over there for is to serve our people in power. The goals of those in power may be questionable, but id say the goals of the troops are far from it. Many of them go over there to PROTECT, not to harm, and dont want to shoot anyone but are instead forced to. Almost all of their time is spent in the communities trying to spread as much love as possible and to improve peoples quality of life.
What would you say about those troops that are medics over in afghanistan? They certainly arent killing anyone, and will heal ANYONE that needs healing? Do you think that they deserve our respect?
