re: not so fast whiplash

Some sick and demented people here. You tell the people who lost friends and family members in combat that it wasn’t selfless.

While our country isn’t perfect, the strength of our military has prevented major wars for a long time. If our military went away the Chinese and Russians would fight to occupy our lands. Just because you are a coward too scared to serve, doesn’t make service a bad thing.

Also, these cadets and midshipmen are strong students as well as athletes. These student-athletes do it right and have the moral courage to give 9 years of their lives to our country.

re: Sicko slicko

yeah, without our huge standing army invading country after country we would be subject to invasion after invasion......

maybe one day we will figure out how almost the entire rest of the world manages to avoid being invaded while spending a tiny fraction of what we do.

Yes, a military is necessary. The self-perpetuating BS machine that we currently have that invents wars to justify its existence, we don't need.

People act like this is normal and necessary but it isn't.

And then people always get mad by saying I'm disrespecting those that have fallen in combat. No, the people who send them to war needlessly are disrespecting them. Who is really ' sick and demented' in this equation?

I think you have rediscovered the phenomenon oft termed the U.S. military industrial complex.

This isn't an entirely new discovery. Not only did General Eisenhower describe it, but earlier Marine Corp hero Smedley Butler described it.

I'm from a Navy Family. I joined the Army partly because I wanted to be the one guy in the room rooting for Army.
