We need to eliminate the standing military and return to the idea of a "well regulated militia." We have the most powerful military on the planet and waste trillions on it regularly, yet it can't take and hold a two bit tribal country without much fire power. No country could ever take us, and it is obvious that no country would ever consider a nuclear attack, because they would be vunerable to the fallout from such an attack. The only thing the current military does consistently is kill innocent women and children and devastate the countries they illegally invade.
First the Iraq resolution was passed by Congress.
Second the reason the military has problems in Iraq is because the bad guys hide among the women and children. Also the American public foolishly believes you can wage war without collateral damage. I do no believe in massacring civilians but in war innocent people get killed. Probably less Iraq civilians have been killed by the war than from Sudams regimen.
I work with almost exclusively ex-military personnel and can say they are some of the finest people and stepped up to protect your ability to be a IDIOT!
