Reply #14: The US military doesn't set the policy which you're referencing [View All]

That's the province of the US State Department, CIA, and president. Don't blame a grunt for policies set by some Washington politician.

And yes WWII is over. How'd that one come to a close? Lawsuits, was it? No, I seem to recall there being quite a heavy military conflict. Am I wrong? Nope, don't think I am. I believe the US military went ahead and ended that one, defending our freedom in the process. That is, unless you think Hitler planned to stop at Russia.

Who's the foreign threat? Al Qaeda, for one. China being another. How do they "stack up?" For one you're conflating a few things, namely the US military with the expansion of government police power - police powers not conferred on the US military. Sorry, but the military ain't the bad guy here.
