I wonder if there is a correlation between who our REAL allies are and who's soil we maintain a strong military presence in? Foreign people tend to like us better at a distance . . . that might explain why the Canadians spit on us and the Mexicans love us. We let the Canadians dance across our borders any time they like. France, Germany, Canada, etc. have been under the protection of our defenses too long. They are like the deadbeat ex who continues to drive our car and complain that we didn't put gas in it. I won't comment on the ROK. The people here are kind and gentle and treat our military with respect. We should continue to honor our agreements with foreign governments whatever the cost. Our word (even the word of past democratic presidents) IS our bond.

Thanks for the reply Laurita. I love talking to soldiers. I have the utmost respect for them and find them very interesting. you get to hear the real deal and not the crap the MSM force feeds you every night. I recently spent 5 hours on a flight to Vegas with a 20 yr old Marine on leave from Iraq. he was on his way to a funeral for one of his buddies who got shot up. sad story. He rides on top of Hummers manning the gun. said he has been shot 4 times. he had his hand wrapped up. he unwrapped it and showed me how his thumb was sewn back on after being shot off. I tell you the stories this guy told me had me enthralled for the whole 5 hours. it was a red eye and I think he had the whole back of the plane listening to us all night. He actually loved his job and couldn't wait to get back believe it or not. he said he missed his buddies. I guess he has a true band of brothers.
