This is one thing I do not understand about the people on the far left. A lot of them seem to have no respect for people in the military. No political system is perfect, including the US, and wars are often fought for less than perfect reasons. Several mistakes have been made, but the majority of people in the military are fighting and dying for an ideal. This is something you must respect. The world isn't all gravy, and they're some fucking barbarians that need to civilized, whether by diplomacy or by force. There is no need to respect the sovereignty of an oppressive nation. Iraq & Afghanistan needed regime change. And if you ask me, who are we to decide that - I ask you, who is Saddam to decide the fate of the Iraqis? Who are the Taleban to condemn their women to slavery? Respect your vets, mate. They're not idiots. They're probably far smarter than you'll ever be,
