By the way, do you support the “Clinton Doctrine” of “humanitarian warfare?”
Do you think our sons and daughters in America’s military forces should be sent overseas to build sewers and electrical lines for Iraq?

By humanitarian warfare I guess you mean peacekeeping?
Nope

Contractors are building them for the most part.
But there are some deployments of engineer units to places such as South America where they get to use their training and equipment in a real world mission.
Now deployments like I just mentioned I do not see a problem with for the following reasons:
1.) It’s training and it’s not just for the engineer unit either, because you’ll have sea and airlift specialists, personnel specialists, medics, etc all doing their part too.
2.) It gives our troops exposure to other cultures that they may never see otherwise.
3.) It improves our image
But the biggest thing is training because these engineer units will be able to go out and use their skills and equipment to the fullest extent which is something that doesn’t always happen back stateside.
