Oh, so now you're admitting they really are strong and respected? That's a bit of a departure from before. And I'd love for you to tell some of them they're not being used. Of course, if you're one of the "Nuke Mecca!" crowd, I can understand your disappointment. But then, a strong military wouldn't really be necessary, huh?
I didn't say they were not strong or respected. I said the Army has lowered standards for recruitment, which is a fact and an "issue" that anyone of moderate intelligence can debate. What's your opinion on that issue? Do you like the fact that the Army has lowered their recruitment standards? Building schools and fixing sewage systems is not the job of the American military. Finding and killing terrorists is. I would think that any soldier would agree with that, and I know quite a few.
