That is what soldiers are. If you look at the history of any army, soldiers are the pawns in the politicians game. I went in because after my parents left the communist country, they could not afford college. The military put me through undergrad at University of Illinois, and then I went on to get a Masters from Northwestern University on my own. I guess you will never understand what these rah rah boys do. One thing I did was help the folks in Bangladash after major monsoons in the late 80's. We helped people and loved it. Did not see Canadians, or too many other nations there. This is because the rest of the world is too weak to help. When disaster strikes, everyone wants the U.S. to help, but other than that, others cuts on the U.S. -- It's because of stupid people like you and your jealousy. You have no idea what it's like to live under a socialist/communist government. Canada is close and they are getting closer every day.
