Question: What does the US military do for America and the world as a whole? Just curious. I don't actually know.
Suggest you could look at the Srebrenica massacre and Sijekovak killings which were the shame of Europe in 1992.
I am aware that the US military is a resource for those in control of American politics and "our" allies. What is the role of a military though? Do they protect US business interests? or do they focus on the justice of humanitarian campaigns?
Business...business is a major part of armed military conflict, then there's the whole humanitarian aspect of NATO moving into places like Afghanistan and Bosnia.
Of note is that Afghanistan has un-developed natural resources estimated at 1 trillion US dollars.

What the hell are you talking about? If it weren't for people signing up to be soldiers, to go murder people for no good reason, then "the mission" wouldn't exist.
You sure are silly sometimes. For many, the U.S. military is the only hope an American has of improving his/her lot in life.
There ain't a thing for a poor man

I realise that, I just quoted you for reference. My comment was directed to the OP (see third sentence).

I know many who joined to be able to afford college. Let's say that a someone joins the service with good intentions and loses a leg. You disagree with the "mission," so you have no compassion for him? What are you suggesting? If people stop joining the volunteer army, the government will reinstate the draft. I agree with a lot of what you're saying, but you need more than harsh rhetoric and name calling to convince people that you have a good arguement.
Again may suggest the BOSNIAN killings for bloody pics.But horrible ones not for the squeemish.

Of course that was WW1.
Good evidence that wars do not end wars. Communication ends wars.
Trysts, we are attacking countries that mean us no harm? Viet Nam, Iraq, Afghanistan? How old are you boy? Clean your ears out and pay attention in your history class, or are you a dope smoking, Obama voting, Big Government, teat suckling, Cradle to Grave drop out? Soldiers and statesmen have protected your rights from the people across the ocean, who have attacked us IN our country, unfortunately, we are currently having to fight a different foe here in our own country. It would seem by your tone and lack of intellegence ( and knowledge of historical FACTS) that you support the USA's current and most devastating enemy. I hope you are one of the first that Obama tatoos with a number on your butt.

It must be "intellegence".

When you wage a personal battle against "intellegence", you probably have a lot of head wounds "to prove it".
Trysts,
If you can not realize who is arguing on the side of intellegence here, then let me make it clearer for you. Do evolution a favor and kill yourself, don't procreate, we have enough idiots in this world already. Next time, you TRY to argue with some one, load your pistol with something besides water. What an idiot, I am outta here!
When I was a young man, dear trysts, after ww2 I was sent to Alexandria in Egypt and Gaza and Jerusalem etc. in Palestine.Nobody really wanted us there in our role as youthful unwitting representatives of British Imperialism as they proceeded to make clear when we encountered mobs, mine layers, booby trappers, grenade throwers , machine gunners and demolition bombers from among both Arabs and Jews. Also I met with young Italian and German prisoners of war who like myself had been supporting their own countries and simply doing what they had been told by armchair greybeards.That experience was a complete eye- opener to me.We have not yet found the answer to the world's problems in spite of "wars to end all wars" But to blame the young men can not be the answer As I read these threads, it is the word " tristesse "that mostly comes to mind.
It's far from easy to put the blame on the young man, whose parents and friends give ill-conceived advice to on the matter. It is also difficult to know how much information was available to those in England, France, Germany, etc., at the time of your youth, in the country you resided in. But, today, in America, one has to be actively negating the information available, in order to be ignorant of the criminal invasions, and horrors that shadow them, which this country has been perpetrating for the last 50 years. The only reasonable conclusion in this country today, is to stop supporting the troops altogether.
Never have I seen such an amazing level of ignorance in what our military does for this country and the world as a whole. Have a wonderful fantasy life, Trysts, the world you live in doesn't exist.
Not anymore, you and your mates blew it up.
