If reminding you that real people have to die every time that "we" intervene in somebody else's life insults you, that's too bad. I do not apologize for this.

The only time in my own military service that I came under fire was in a silly-ass deal like that (Multinational Peacekeeping Force, Beirut, 1983). For what? Not to defend America or its sacred principles. Because of weenies who insisted that we get involved in the Lebanese Civil War (which in fact has been going on for centuries, not that any of these dilettantes could be expected to crack a book to find out). "We're the world superpower" they whined, as if that were reason enough. Of course they didn't have to risk their slab-sided asses over it.

So I ask you to think about the real people who have to carry out your wishes before you talk of "we".

You seem to be avoiding the fact that this article and specifically the title is false.

Do you suppose that could be a symptom or a cause. If I want to know about your military history I'll look you up.
