Reply #8: Well you then mistunderstand US History

[nadinbrzezinski]

we have always looked up for recruitment into the armed forces, why EMPIRE.

But to be quite brutally honest, you can hate the wars, but not the Warrior. Just Ask Rhandi Rhodes, or those of us who served, or are married to people who did.

Oh and the military is a tool of the CIVILIAN leaders who use and abuse them... not of themselves. We still live in a system where the military has not taken control. Mind you, there is this essay from a US Army Colonel, out of the Staff College, who wrote about a Coup in the US... as a piece of both fiction and exploration, And I personally hope it remains as fiction.

Oh these days he serves as a Major General in case you wonder.
