Thanks for stating this better than I had, Bob.

You're right.

I'm tired of watching flag draped coffins, busted up bodies and damaged minds coming home----after fighting someone elses battle. I've been watching it my entire life, since the Vietnam era. What's worse is I think too many people have come to expect this of us. They simply tolerate tyranny for decades waiting for us to do something about it. And that needs to stop. It's not good for them or us.

Having said that, I am not opposed to assisting in other ways when possible. I just draw the line at sending our young people to do the dirty work unless it is absolutely necessary. (And I'm talking about things on the order of mass genocide or overwhelming armed invasion upon an ally.)
