"...we will sustain the strongest military the world has ever known." Romney? Nope...Obama, page 3

The United States has been a country for 235 years. You've been at war for 209 of them.

Sorry for calling a spade a spade.

You're not.

You're showing a biased side that's clear for anyone bothering to think it through.

What empire doesn't secure resources?

How many years was Rome at war for?

Would you say that was their greatest achievement?

Warring?

War doesn't automatically negate the great accomplishments a nation has done.

In fact it may facilitate them.

I wasn't implying that other nations were better than the US. Most of them have done the same. This is why it's ironic and hypocritical, for the US to use moral high ground, as a reason to keep their imperialist arm of the military in use.

I don't care how you justify it. Murder is murder. The Military isn't a requirement today, not in the form it currently takes.

There is no need to have 50 thousand troops stationed in Germany. There is no need to occupy nations and do 'nation building'. You are only hurting yourselves.

Are you safer as a nation than before 911? OR have you made yourselves more enemies and made yourselves more hated around the world?

The answer is you are not safer and you have MORE ideological enemies than ever before. You think they just decided one day to hate you because you had 'freedom and democracy'. No.

The people who hate the United States, hate it because of it's meddling in affairs it had no business meddling in. You don't think that those groups realize that the United States helped support most if not all of the dictators they now claim to want to remove from power?

The hypocracy among war mongers is astounding.

I'm sorry, but Barack Obama is of the most pro war Presidents that has ever taken charge of the military.

And they gave him a Nobel Peace Prize.

Pathetic.

Not sure I disagree on any of those points.

Just not sure how that backs your statement that it's the single biggest accomplishment of the US for the last 50 years.

That was going too far.

Yeah, that statement was emotionally charged, before my 1st cup of coffee this morning, I'll take it back.

I apologize to the community for this post.

www.abovetopsecret.com...

I don't even remember posting it which is disconcerting at best. I have had a few incidents of weirdness after taking an Ambien; waking up downstairs after going to sleep in bed, once my wife said I yelled at her and became very angry about her telling me to go back to bed, and once I ate almost an entire sheet cake but posting on ATS is a first.

Anyway - it’s odd because it shows that some function or awareness is there (I even went to USAREC for force recruiting goals) but typing and sentence construction are poor.

Ambien - great for those who suffer insomnia. Not to be taken lightly. Let it be a lesson for us all.

Sorry for the quality. I will go through the thoughts which seem sound oddly enough but are poorly presented and repost later.
