Well if the military isn't up to the task an alternative is needed. If we can't count on them to what is right, then it makes us wrong. I do not want to be wrong. If the point of this is to make us SAFER then lets get to it already. But I hate to point to the scoreboard, but we are lesser 1600+ soldiers. And YES our borders ARE vulnerable! But you don't eliminate a threat by killing or torturing someones father no matter how just the cause. It won't be long before the son is old enough to be the enemy too. What would you suggest we do with him? Kill HIM too? Does that sound like being on the side of RIGHT to you?
Maybe my expectations ARE too high. But imperfections and all this IS supposed to be the greatest country in the world. How about we start acting like it?
And yes I DO realize that the media is fanning the flames. But I doubt everybody regardless of their poltical views buys in to this everytime. I HAVE been told what it is we are supposed to be doing by being where we are. I have just judged that it isn't worth it going about it in this way. Nor do i forsee it (because of our strategy) getting any better for us in the future.
