What I was referring to as "military crap," and what you're very wrongly
(probably out of failure to properly read) understanding as criticism of the
military, is the repetition of patriotic slogans and expression of pride in
the
military _as a response to criticism of bad US foreign policy_.

It is all apart of it. We can have a conversation on foriegn criticisms but
you are the exception. I find it interesting that some can extoll the
contributions of some literary figure for thier genius or contribution to
the world but if some one wre to do this for some military contributions, it
is rah rah crap. The sequitur is that you can't paint American policy with
a brush using only one color and many use it as an opputunity to malign real
contributions. There is, now days, in this worls a quick reaction to
criticize and no desire for recognition of America. Sure we have bet on the
wrong horse but often it was before they proved to be what they are. If
America shits so often without cleaning it up, as you suggest, then we
should sit on our hands the next time a Hitler, Stalin or whomever pops on
the world scene. The south Americans can wipe thier own asses from now on.
What do you think?
