Yes, I know it's in America's best interest to rule the world through force of arms.We don't actually rule the world through force of arms..or even at all. We maintain a privileged position in a morass of competing national interests through economic and political means.
Quote:Just like it's in my best interests to just beat the shit out of everyone around me to get what I want all the time. Except I don't like being a bully, or psychopath.There's no "just like" here. No comparison. If that's what you see as your best interests then so be it, but that has nothing to do with the best interests of a nation. If, however, this sort of thing bothers you - then you're going to have an issue with fuckers like Assad, Putin, and Erdogan. Who will not go away, just because we do. Or China, for that matter, who is gladly hoovering up any vacuum we leave behind us.
Quote:Whether or not there are worse administrations out there than our country's is likely debatable. The problem is, some of those really bad countries are our allies. Like Saudi Arabia, and Israel.I'm sure there are better and worse. Just like there are better and worse admins than the ksa or israel.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
