If the military really keeps us "free" wich is a strange term, except Afghanisthan (wich could have been avoided, we had the chance several times) when was the last time we WERENT the agressors? When have we not been the agressors? If the military really keeps us free shouldnt that include the freedom to hate them? Yeah, yeah another one from the “Im not a fan of Bush but…” scene.

It has been over 6 years since 9/11. The "people" should have figured out by this time that 9/11 was about Blowback and learned that those same aircraft that were flying overhead then are the same ones being used now to help create more Blowback.

You need to stop making assumptions about people without ever actually engaging them in debate. The military HAS kept us free in the past, and there will be a time in the future, maybe not in 5 years, 10 years or 100 years, but the military will be called on again to protect YOU from agression from foreign nations that want to destroy our culture. Disagreement with the current administration and the Machiavellian aproach to poitics of the past 5 years is, although not yet universal, is growing. Attacking the people who serve your country, defaming them and refusing to make the choice to actively protest against the people who are puttin them in harms way makes YOU just as guilty as if you sent them there yourself.

I don't think you really want an answer to your question. You mainly want to express your "America: Love it or leave it" position. Exactly what has the US military done for us lately that should cause us to want to strew flower pedals in their path? They did not protect us on 9/11. Whatever protective functions they are currently providing are nullified several times by the criminal invasion and occupation of Iraq. Moving to another country is certainly a consideration. If Benito or Hitlary become president, finding that other country will become a top priority. Tim, you need professional help. Tim R.

It was a great comfort to know that the United States Air Force was protecting the skies from more attacks and that we had naval ships and an aircraft carrier heading toward New York Harbor.

(And try as hard as you can to just stick to answering the actual question, rather than spouting 3rd grade level insults ok?) So many people have expressed deep hatred and resentment for the United States Military and our civilian leadership. The question is, if you hate our military and our government so much, why on earth do you live here? There are 180 other countries you could go to? But yet you remain here. Why? Are you not just a parasite, biting the proverbial hand that feeds you? If that is how you feel, why not stand up for your convictions and move out of this horrible, militaristic and imperialistic country? Maybe you could go to Cuba or Iran? But is it not the height of hypocracy to spout such hatred for our armed forces and still live here? Please explain. Thank you. Can someone PLEASE answer the following question for me?

The Air Force took advantage of this by insisting on a four year committment compared to being drafted for three years in the army. They knew from the history of World War 2 that those airmen who flew over Europe suffered some of the worst casualty statistics of any service. However, the only action most of the ground crews stationed in England,for example, were the race riots in the nearby towns fighting over the local girls. Much of our war machine cannot fight a continental power successfully unless using nukes. This is the reason that most of our adversaries since the end of World War 2 lacked a viable retaliatory capability. Modern navies are also obsolete, with the possible exception of the submarine force, as we have yet to faced an enemy which possessed a naval force with the ability to respond in kind.
