"Now that comment was just....wrong."

Actually, that comment is right on the money.
We want our young people to die for our country. But, what is it they're defending? If all coporations are global? If all jobs go to the lowest bidder? If being American brings you nothing special?
They dying could be outsourced, (mercinaries), but it's more expensive. So, we sell patriotism as a motivator.

Good comment Wolfie.

I agree with you, before my last tour in Iraq, I lost my job as a IT developer I was made redundant, the project was outsourced to India.

When I was in Iraq I actually questioned was I fighting to make the world a safer place for India and China.

Back in IT again, but left the reserves want to protect my job.
