The ''powers that be'' certainly have spent the U.S. of everything good that's about it. Unfortunately, it's this sort of high and mighty drivel that annoys the rest of us in this world about SOME attitudes from you folks over the pond.
Please, for goodness sake, be real about it.
PEACE.

China would kick the US's ass back to the stone age. Their population is so huge they could take over easily.
Check this list of countries by army size
en.wikipedia.org...
China is #1 on the list.
HA.. We have more armed civilians that are better marksmen then they have foot soldiers. I promise you are underestimating the american populations ability to defend itself. I would estimate 30 million armed resistors in the US. It would be suicide for any country to attack the US with conventional forces.

My husband retired on 2001 as an E-7 SSG. I hope he is not called back. He has a decent job now and well, he does have a medical issue that might prevent him from going active duty, if this is true.

There are no winners in war. There are only varying degrees of loser's.

To all Veterans and Brave Americans and Brave visitors, and for that matter Brave illegal immigrants,
If our country calls us back then we will go! You swore an OATH to this country to defend it from Foreign and Domestic Enemies. That oath never ends!!!!!!!! So if you are called back, take a deep breath stick out your chest, remind yourself who and what you are and what you believe in and then go and serve your country again.
We are the "Greatest Nation On Earth" for a reason, Our People.
" WE THE PEOPLE"
As a child I would sit and listen to my grandfather and great uncle talk to each other about WWII. They were both Army Airbourne and you can only imagine the Honor and Courage of these two men. As for me I can only hope that my courage and honor have been in the same company as these two men during my tours. They went and fought for this country and they won and they came home again. Many did not! So when you think about fear of serving your country again or you get scared if they ever do call you back, think of those men who have fought for this country in foreign lands for the freedom of the people of this country and did not come home.
You think of all the soldiers, sailors and marines who have fought for and are still fighting for this country. You think of them and when you are finished thinking of them, then you turn and look at your family and think of them.
YOU ARE AN AMERICAN AND YOU ARE FREE AND WILL ALWAYS BE FREE IN THE COUNTRY. NO ONE WILL OR CAN TAKE THAT AWAY FROM YOU.

Personnel from around the globe will converge at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base from Dec. 1 to Dec. 12 for the largest rescue exercise of its kind. The effort, dubbed Angel Thunder 08, will involve the U.S. Army and Air Force, troops from Germany, Chile, Colombia and observers from Canada, Mexico, Brazil and Pakistan. Several non-military U.S. agencies such as the State and Justice departments, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and the National Reconnaissance Office, also will take part in the drills, which aim to smooth interaction between military branches, allied nations and civilian agencies.

This is so funny! I know you probably didn't mean it to come out that way but it did. What happened to so many Citizens who voted in for the WALL to be built? Now that American Citizens are getting recalled (If this is true), yeah, lets get the illegal aliens back and have them executed by the governement (by sending them to war first instead of "real citizens").
God bless all of us!
