Your biggest flip flop

[abaris]

It's not "the military" so much as it is the concept that every problem can be solved by dropping bombs on it.  We spend a lot of money to train soldiers to obey orders which is why they are soldiers and not thugs.  We should train the fucking cops a quarter as well. 

To be fair, you all get conditioned in a manner that would be unthinkable in any other part of the Western world. My brother lived for two years in Atlanta and my nephew wnent to school there. The amount of greeting the flag and making pledges was tremendous. I always keep saying that it's because the US hasn't seen a real war on it's soil for over a 150 years by now.

And, as far as support the troops goes, the best way to support the troops is to keep them out of engagement.
