Finally, you state: Maybe military personell SHOULD start thinking for themselves. The answer is no.
Remind me again, who did the fighting in the revolutionary war? And who did their thinking for them? Funny that this country was founded by simple, civilian men, who each made their own personal decision to take up arms in defense of their liberty----and that they intended for it to STAY that way.

You may be a bright person, but that is an incredibly stupid argument. You reach back over 200 years for an example? Ok, tell you what, as soon as you can guarantee that any enemy will dress in red coats, and line up nicely to be shot, I will agree that a self run self maintaining civilian force will work.
